Race Summary: Plenty of these may want to force things, including FIDELIO VALLIS, and the class act in the field could defy top weight. He didn’t look at ease round Cheltenham 8 weeks ago and the return to a right-handed track/a handicap could see him add to his good strike rate over fences. Desque de L’Isle is interesting back under Charlie Deutsch, while Not Available is another to consider.

Race Summary: It’s difficult to look beyond BALCO COASTAL, who made an impressive start over hurdles at Huntingdon and is brimming with potential. Iontach Cheval proved that his bumper success was no flash in the pan when scoring on his hurdling bow at Uttoxeter and Alastair Ralph’s charge is second choice ahead of Frere d’Armes, who is one to note in the betting on Rules debut, and Hard Frost.
