Arcadian Sunrise, a winning bumper and dual hurdles winner, has run well enough on the Flat the last twice to get into contention while the versatile Dunvegan has won two bumpers. Monopoly has looked in need of this kind of trip in his two runs this summer but Silver Fox has been beaten at short odds in five starts this year and stepping up to this trip looks a last throw of the dice. Rosa Albertine hasn't been beyond 1m4f so is another stepping into the unknown but Snegurochka has won two bumpers so the trip won't be a problem. HEARTS ARE TRUMPS, three-times a winner over hurdles, finished runner-up in the lucrative Galway Hurdle in July and can make his obvious stamina count here.
