FormscanBy Donal Murphy - ECLAIR DE BEAUFEU gets the nod over Wonder Laish, with both rated in the high 130s. The selection was a close-up fourth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham in March and while he has been disappointing in two starts since, he is tried in cheekpieces for the first time now. Wonder Laish will be ridden by Philip Byrnes who claims a valuable seven pounds and the seven time winner is sure to have plenty of supporters. Play The Game has been disappointing of late and his mark of 130 appears to be on the high side given what he has achieved so far in his career. Zanavi is the sole four-year-old in the line-up and a career best performance will be needed if he is to take this. Hammersmith has claims if the principals fail to fire, while Adnap and Tonkinese are likely to struggle.
