Many possibilities in a typically competitive renewal of this Grade 3 handicap. MARIO DE PAIL looked promising prior to finding the Supreme Novices' Hurdle too much at Cheltenham when last seen in March and, with improvement likely now pitched into a handicap, he could be the answer. Tea Clipper and Fix Sun are also on the shortlist.
