Gavroche Gaugain and Banoge would go close in this on their best form but both return from a break. Storm Surge isn't easy to catch right, while Prince Tam has disappointed so far this term. Brousse En Feux has yet to win over fences and still looks too high in the weights but Elliott Cooper's pair Some Catch and Cloonawillin Lady could be thereabouts. DO IT FOR DALKEY was pulled up in his final two starts of last season but is best fresh, as he showed when successful over hurdles here just under a year ago. Well suited by soft ground, he has to be worth an interest today.
