Abaya Du Mathan may have just need his run here a couple of weeks ago, his first since wind surgery. He’s slipped to a fair mark and could be a bit of each-way value in this. Judge Earle has won three of his last five but has a penalty for his latest success over track and trip. Racing Spirit had Bagan and Corrany behind over hurdles here two weeks ago and Kabrit won here last year but Present Chief has been struggling for form for a while. CRESSWELL QUEEN has more scope than the majority of these so gets the vote.
