Verdict

MARS HARPER found the Plate too competitive at the Cheltenham Festival and is worth another chance back in much calmer waters. Gain de Cause ran his best race over fences when fourth at Navan last time and remains with potential in this sphere on hurdles form, while Charlie Stout responded well to a change of tactics when making all at Wexford last week.
