In a race which doesn't feature a real standout form horse, a chance is taken on the Dan Skelton trained COBRA DE MAI. A three time winner over fences since early May (all over 2m on decent ground), he was pitched into a much stronger contest at Cheltenham last Saturday when finishing a never nearer 19+L fifth to Foxtail Hill. He is well worth a try over this longer trip based upon that evidence. Of the remainder, Benatar is an interesting chasing newcomer for Gary Moore, and it would be no surprise to see this useful novice hurdler go close in a race where a few of his other rivals have slight question marks against their names.
