FARCEUR DU LARGE should be all the better for a seasonal pipe-opener at Newbury and is fancied to repeat his success in this event last season. Hold That Taught has won off a break and could prove the main danger to Jamie Snowden's veteran, although D'Jango and Black Gerry could also have a say if on their A-games.
