In a contest where few arrive with compelling claims it might be worth chancing BREIZH ALKO, who was let down by his jumping switched to fences on his return from a long absence but he did hint at retaining ability and the handicapper has dropped him 5 lb ahead of this return to hurdles. Advantura has the profile of a possible improver in handicaps so he's feared most ahead of True Thoughts.
