Battle Dust commands respect here based on his victory at Chepstow last time when he comprehensively accounted for Al Co, who himself has some good recent form in this sphere but clearly has something to find with that reopposing rival. Meanwhile, YOU TOO PET doesn't have a great record when racing under rules but has seemed to improve with his recent winning run in point-to-points, and can make a better impression now returning to hunter chasing.
