Plenty of these may want to force things, including FIDELIO VALLIS, and the class act in the field could defy top weight. He didn't look at ease round Cheltenham 8 weeks ago and the return to a right-handed track/a handicap could see him add to his good strike rate over fences. Desque de L'Isle is interesting back under Charlie Deutsch, while Not Available is another to consider.
