KLOTH OF UTOPIA won easily at Auteuil last month and can make a successful foray across the Channel with the longer trip this afternoon expected to be in his favour. Nicky Henderson course chase winner Excello had some useful form over hurdles in France at the start of his career and is second choice ahead of Western Knight.
