If taking to hurdles on debut then Knight In Purple will be prominent inbut we'll stick with one who has experience jumping obstacles in BREEZE OUT with Foxes Delight fancied to run a big race at a bigger price. The selection will make his UK debut here after showing a fair level of form in his native Ireland. He narrowly missed out on breaking his maiden tag last time out after a run of solid efforts in point to points and Tony McCoy takes his only ride of the day on him for a yard the champion has a decent strike rate with. Donald McCain has his string in good nick and sends out Knight In Purple for a debut over timber. He won an Exeter bumper in April and shaped well enough under a penalty at Southwell next time.
