Mario De Pail finished second of four runners at Ffos Las on his reappearance and Gericault Roque may improve for this extra distance after a third at Wetherby. But PATS FANCY (NAP) is also expected to finish closer after finishing fourth over course and distance on his chasing debut and looks to have decent claims if running up to the best of his form over hurdles. Broken Halo and Manvers House failed to complete on their respective seasonal bows and the former debuts over fences but both Fleminport and Faustinovick return to action with a shout.
