CROPLEY has only run twice over fences. He won easily here last month and was only headed at the last when third at Ffos Las subsequently. There may be more to come and he’s receiving weight from all of his rivals. Kalifourchon lacks a recent run but is another who is largely unexposed over fences and he is well handicapped on his hurdles form. Destiny's Gold has yet to show much over the larger obstacles, however, while Powerful Symbol needs a confidence-booster. Tb Broke Her is back in the right grade and Vendredi Trois and Jarlath are previous course winners but Our Reward needs more.
