Gibralfaro is a decent competitor at this level and should be thereabouts again today, while The Dutchman would not be the first to switch back from fences to hurdles and claim a nice prize this season. Kalondra could go well without winning and in a fairly open heat WHATDUHAVTOGET might provide the answer. She is an improving mare and after just a 2lb rise she may have got in lightly.
