KING ALEX was progressive over hurdles last term and left his poor chase debut effort behind when fifth in a 13-runner Naas handicap on return last month. He is open to improvement in this sphere and gets the nod ahead of Farceur Du Large, who promises to be suited by this drop back in trip. Norwigi hasn't been given a hard time in her two starts over fences and is likely to do better in time.
