L'Homme Presse (8/13), Pic D'Orhy (11/4), Mister Coffey (7/1), Gladiateur Allen (20/1), Fugitif (33/1)
A low-mileage 7-y-o, L'HOMME PRESSE has made a fine start to his chasing career, handling the rise in class with aplomb when completing the hat-trick in a Cheltenham Grade 2 last month. With the prospect of even more to come, he gets the nod to maintain his 100% record in this sphere. Pic d'Orhy, who is 2-3 himself over fences this campaign, rates the chief threat.
