Banjo Girl and Canyon City have winning form over timber with the former looking the more likely to defy a penalty. However, there are some interesting runners amongst the less exposed types with DESSINATEUR making plenty of appeal for the in-form Venetia Williams team. The Chepstow bumper winner was threatening to play a part on his Exeter hurdling debut until a lack of fitness began to tell. He will be much straighter here and can take this at the expense of Canyouringmeback who showed plenty of promise at Fontwell. Passam will need further in due course, but the stiff finish here will help provided there is a decent gallop.
