Dual good ground winner has been successful on his last two starts at Down Royal for Sandra Hughes and on stable debut at Southwell last month. Likely to be a warm order for this.
Running in the Coolmore navy blue, the seven-year-old disappointed last time out when one-paced in a Haydock handicap hurdle. Distance winner but must improve to take a hand.
Won on chasing debut back in May when finishing 7L in front of five rivals at Hexham over 2m4f. From powerful trainer/jockey combination and one for the shortlist.
Course winner who has won over this trip. May have needed the run following a break when finishing sixth of eight beaten 20L at Market Rasen last month. Interesting on chasing debut.
Forecasts
Art Of Payroll (5/4), Call To Order (7/2), Debdebdeb (4/1), Exxaro (4/1), Kayla (20/1)
Exxaro likes to get on with things in his races and today is likely to be no different. Kayla on chasing debut and Debdebdeb who won well on chasing bow can be expected to improve for the race but preference is for the consistent ART OF PAYROLL who will progress from his win last month in a Southwell handicap chase.
