Classic Colori makes his hurdling debut and is rated higher on the Flat than It's A Mans World. However, the latter has the benefit of experience over hurdles and posted his best effort so far when runner-up at Fakenham last month. LORD OF HOUSE won on the Flat in Germany and finished a respectable third on his hurdling bow at Aintree behind the well-regarded Gevrey Chamberlin. Charlie Mann's charge is fancied to land this with normal improvement. Winning pointer Lost Legend is worth noting and Supreme Asset could go well on his return to action.
