A deep race with plenty open to improvement but KLUB DE REVE looked ready for this sort of level when winning a C&D novice with plenty in hand so could be the answer. Double Measure clocked a good time when winning his novice at Huntingdon so is another to consider, while the unbeaten Mustang du Breuil must be respected for a yard that has won this a record 8 times.
