KING ERIK makes his hurdles debut in this contest and looks to be the one to beat for an in-form yard. The six-year-old was fifth in an above-average bumper at Warwick in May and that form seemingly sets the standard in this contest. Nightboattoclyro is noted after his shock win over C&D and will be interesting to see if can replicate the same level of form with a 7lb penalty, while the likes of Realm Keeper and Lieutenant Rocco remain severely unexposed and could both be dark horses.
