Recent course winner Ultra Pride must be respected, as is Moktamel, who will appreciate the return to shorter after trying 1m7f last time, but a chance is taken on FLINDT on his return to the Flat. Dot Love's charge is fairly handicapped on last year's form, and has shown useful form over hurdles since, with his latest effort in that sphere forgiven as he seemed stretched by the 2½m trip.
