Having shaped well in a decent jumpers bumper last time, THE FLYING SOFA gets the nod. He has been eased 3 lb subsequent to his reappearance fourth in this sphere at Fakenham in January and he is pretty versatile ground-wise. Frero Banbou was rather disappointing at Haydock, but he is interesting nonetheless back from a break following a wind operation. Monsieur d'Arque also enters calculations.
