AUDACIOUS PLAN has been quite highly tried so far over fences. He was well beaten over 3m last time at Uttoxeter but the mud was flying that day and he should do better on this quicker surface. He ran well over hurdles off a higher mark here in December. Until Winning appeared to have a bit in hand when winning at Wincanton last month and rates a danger but Lac Sacre is proving hard to place. However, he has been placed in better races in two of his last three starts and Saint Breiz looks harshly treated considering he finished tailed off in his only start over fences under Rules.
