SOUNDS RUSSIAN faces his toughest assignment to date, yet he's been most impressive in landing each of his last 3 starts over fences and is fancied to make a bold bid to defy another hike in the weights and complete the 4-timer. Dusart ran well in Grade 1-company at Cheltenham and is feared. Doyen Breed completes the shortlist.
