Intriguing Grade 2 event. Winner of this by 16L last year PIC D'ORHY (1) enhanced his course record taking the 2m5f G1 Ascot Chase during February. Hard to beat. DASHEL DRASHER (3) is another specialist at the venue with a record of four from seven. Won a G2 Hurdle this time twelve months ago at Newbury. Consider. LE PATRON (2) managed to win the 1m7 1/2f G1 Henry VIII Novices Chase at Sandown the previous season. Shortlist on best form. FLEGMATIK (4) maintains a good place strike rate here and might fill fourth spot.
