Take The Crown had Midnight Chorister well behind when third to Until Winning at Ludlow and he should be a factor in this. But ARTIFICE SIVOLA is probably the one to beat on his debut second over fences at Plumpton - he should have improved for the experience. Gizzit really needs quicker ground and has had a break since finishing second at Lingfield in November but a clear round could see Henri De Boistron get involved and he makes more appeal than Towcester runner-up Khazium and stable companion Veyranno.
