Promise in bumpers and exceeded market expectations when runner-up on hurdles bow in January. Similar form when a keeping-on third at Doncaster and opening mark could be lenient.

Forecasts

Hasty Parisian (13/8), Langafel (2/1), Monsieur Pom Pom (10/3), Malakahna (11/2), Morani Kali (6/1), Romeo's Bond (20/1)

HASTY PARISIAN will stay further when required but, even kept to this trip, he looks the one to beat having been allotted a very fair opening mark. Langafel has been off since the summer but returns with his yard going great guns and he is feared most.
