COEUR TANTRE was placed in decent company in three runs over fences last year. A recent third over hurdles at Ffos Las should have blown away any cobwebs and it will be a surprise if he can’t win races off this sort of mark. Cut The Corner has won at Stratford and Newton Abbot this year and can probably be forgiven his run in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen 10 days ago. A fully-fit Croco Bay would be a threat to all but he’s been off a long time. Veteran Lord Ben races from out of the handicap but I'dliketheoption is potentially well treated, though has been out of sorts for a while.
