4/5

Progressed well over hurdles last term and looked a natural when making a winning chasing debut in a novice at Chepstow 15 days, quickening clear in impressive fashion. Solid claims under a penalty.

Form: 11R85-1

Roi De Dubai³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: J C McConnell| OR: 143| D

10/3

Likeable front-runner who has already scored twice over fences and should be able to put his experience to good use even if there are possibly more talented rivals in this field.

Form: 2-21712

Undersupervision²⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 129| D

5/2

Landed Irish point before winning hurdling bow in Hereford novice. Progressed again on both subsequent outings and should be well prepared for this chasing/seasonal debut. Not discounted.

OSCAR ELITE completed a cracking novice hurdling season with a third in the Sefton at Aintree 6 months ago and he's very much the type to do better in this sphere, so he's marginally preferred to Does He Know, who made an impressive debut over fences when successful at Chepstow earlier in the month. Roi de Dubai has plenty of experience and should put up a bold bid from the front.
