Dormouse has a shout off his current mark but both Smart Motive and Seas Of Green have questions to answer having run poorly last time. The latter won here in December and VESUVHILL scored over track and trip on his latest start. He's upped in the weights but still preferred to Azert De Coeur, making his debut for new connections having won over timber in France back in June. Hepijeu is another new arrival form across the Channel but is without a win in eight starts over hurdles.
