Leulahleulahlay failed to win in three starts on the level for Mark Johnston but ran promisingly on his hurdles debut for Evan Williams at Bangor earlier this month and the son of Dr Fong has to be considered but KEY REGARD sets a decent standard and looks the one to be on with Blue Dynasty rated the pick of the remainder. The selection, the winner of a Lingfield maiden on the flat, has failed to justify favouritism in each of his three starts over hurdles but has run well on each occasion and Charlie Mann's gelding looks worth another chance to open his account in this company. Neil King's Zepnove ran to a decent level of form when second to the in-form True Britannia at Market Rasen last month and has claims on that effort but she had been well beaten the time before and looks best watched. Tim Vaughan's Langfroid Decoit gave little sign of encouragement with his jumping on his hurdling debut here earlier this month. Amanda Perrett's Blue Dynasty was capable on the flat and ran promisingly first time up over hurdles so he rates an obvious danger to the selection, Key Regard.
