Blueking D'oroux (G)
[P]
Smart hurdler, ending last season with Grade 2 win at Sandown. Not quite so good over fences this term but managed to pick up a weak Grade 2 at Wincanton in November. Took step forward in this headgear when just denied in handicap at Kempt…

Mambonumberfive (G)
Made it 3 from 3 over fences this season in Grade 2 at Kempton over Christmas but he wasn't foot perfect there and was let down by jumping when well held in Kingmaker at Warwick subsequently. Stiff task here but longer trip should at least…
