Forgotten Hero is interesting in receipt of the allowances here but it is more than two years since he last won a race. He was handled with kid gloves last time and it is possible he is a difficult ride. The same applies to
Lieutenant Gruber who is now heavily equipped with headgear. Dan Skelton's charge has the pick of the form if proving capable of producing it.
NEW AGENDA has a bit to find but he may be the more straightforward option. He is a fairly useful performer on the Flat and is now a winner over hurdles, having cruised home in an uncompetitive race last time. His previous run behind American Gigolo at Kempton does not leave him with much to find and, with the champion on board, he merits the pick.
