Champion Bumper runner-up HEADS UP shaped with plenty of encouragement when second in a strong Grade 2 here in November and he can progress again to land this contest. Smart prospect Taurus Bay asserted in taking style to make it 2-2 over hurdles at Aintree and should make a bold bid to maintain his unbeaten record, while Act of Innocence was conceding lumps of weight when turned over at Newbury and remains one to be interested in over a more suitable test.
