Dr Mikey could take the field along here with Brelade and Sonny B in behind in the initial stages of the contest. The race could revolve round the well-being of BLUE ET ROUGE who was well beaten in the County hurdle at the Cheltenham festival but is clearly better than his rivals here. Brelade and Flaxen Flare - who will appreciate the small field - can battle for the minor honours.
