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.
