Veteran Finnegan's Garden completed a hat-trick when last seen in this grade in 2019. He’s only 2lb higher and goes well here so looks one of the more likely winners. Warwick winner Go As You Please is tried in blinkers after running a shocker at Fontwell while the headgear brought about some improvement in Ivilnoble at Plumpton. GUGUSS COLLONGES was weakening when falling over a longer trip over hurdles here last time so should be suited by the drop back in distance. Only five, he might make a better chaser than hurdler.
