CHRIS PEA GREEN will likely start odds-on in this. He's found one too good in all three starts over fences but is rated 20lb higher than Romeo Americo in this and can finally get off the mark. The latter was placed at Uttoxeter last month and makes more appeal than What's for Tea while Albatros De Guye is probably best watched on his racecourse debut.
