I was really impressed with HOURVARI at Lingfield last time and I think Olly Murphy has found the right race for him to go and follow up. He relished the step up in trip and really galloped through the line strong. He is open to further improvement and it is no surprise to see him a warm order in the betting with Aidan Coleman jocked up.

The danger could be Bonttay for Fergal O'Brien who is a likeable mare. She won as she should have at Exeter last time and likely has more to come so should chase this favourite home. Letterston Lady won a couple of bumpers before making a winning start over hurdles at Worcester. She was only fifth at Newbury last time but that was behind Luccia so at least this will be a bit easier but at the same time looks to have a bit to prove off the back of that last run.

The improving TELHIMLISTEN has been a bit of a work in progress but things finally seem to be clicking and it was good to see him back up that encouraging run at Doncaster to win by 20 lengths at Southwell last time. He was notably strong in the betting and seemed much better suited by positive tactics. He is turned out quickly under a penalty but with more to come he should be able to follow up here as this looks another winnable race. There isn't a great deal of pace on so he should go forward again and with a bit of luck will prove hard to catch.

Half The Freedom enjoyed a sounder surface to open his account at Doncaster in January and wasn't disgraced up 5lb when third at that venue last month. If he handles this softer surface then he could emerge as the main danger to the selection.
