Formscan - BOBHOPEORNOHOPE won over C&D two starts ago and was not disgraced when fourth in a valuable event at Kempton last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give him a big chance here. The hat-trick seeking Dibble Decker is an obvious threat, although he will need to find some improvement to defy a career-high mark. Annsam and Le Cameleon are others who make the shortlist.
