Formscan By Stuart Howden - Emily In Paris won this in 2023 and is back after failing to get home over further here last month. She can go well, but the vote goes to GREAT OCEAN. A winner over fences last October but well beaten in June, the switch to hurdles off 17lb lower looks a shrewd move. Boston Rajj is hard to ignore but has a career-high mark to contend with, while Cornmarket is bidding for a course hat-trick after scoring twice over similar trips.
