Another typically competitive renewal on paper and it's SANS BRUIT who gets the tentative nod having shaped as if better for the run on return/yard debut at Doncaster 6 weeks ago. His usual hood is reapplied, and he can give Paul Nicholls a second successive victory in this at the expense of Making Headway, who doubled his tally at Newbury 4 weeks ago and looks a fascinating contender now handicapping. Go Dante, Jipcot and Bad are just another handful of others worth considering, also.
