Paul Nicholls' Grade Two winning hurdler CLIFFS OF DOVER must have been the best part of 20L clear at Haydock until easing up to win by 12L. The step back 3½f in trip here won't be ideal but he is so well treated with the 6lb penalty that he will still take an awful lot of beating. Saroog is clearly on the up since stepping into staying contests and he rates the biggest threat to the selection. Sky Eagle is another who seems to be going the right way and he too is considered for the in form Ed Walker.
