A few of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for Dan Skelton's LAC DE CONSTANCE to take another step forward and capitalise on a lenient mark back over fences. Last year's victor Ned Tanner could emerge as the chief threat if recent wind surgery has a positive effect, while Grain d'Oudairies and Bowenspark also need factoring in.
