TROJAN HORSE created a good impression when making his second start in this sphere a winning one at Fontwell last month and has plenty of scope to do better again judged on Flat ability, so he’s fancied to defy a penalty. Blueking d’oroux folded tamely on his British debut at Cheltenham but his French form suggests he’s capable of much better, while State Legend is the pick of the hurdling newcomers before market clues.

TIMEFORATUNE hasn’t looked the most straightforward but there’s no question he has plenty of ability and is capable of defying a penalty. Far Sight has 17 lengths to make up with the selection from Exeter but he should get closer to him with improvement on the cards over this longer trip.

In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

MAHON POINT has won a bumper/over hurdles in his short Rules career and his pointing background dictates that he should do even better in this sphere, so a chance is taken on him. Kayf Hernando left the form of his chasing debut behind when scoring readily over C&D last time, so he’s a big player, while Fawsley Spirit should be on the premises again.

In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined

It’s likely the Paul Nicholls-trained FAME AND FUN has more to offer now handicapping so he could prove the answer to this big-field finale. Like so many from the Ben Pauling team Couldbeaweapon has had a good spell of late and he heads the dangers along with last year’s winner Karakoram. Ferdinand Star would also come into it if the betting vibes are strong on his first outing for the David Pipe yard. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.FAME AND FUN (IRE) 2.COULDBEAWEAPON (IRE) 3.KARAKORAM
