1.50 PARIS DIXIE; 3.50 ELECTRON BLEU (FR); 5.50 JEREMY PASS (IRE); 8.00 SIZABLE SAM; 10.00 CAFE PUSHKIN (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
Paris Dixie chased home recent Cheltenham second Wild Romance on her debut for Nicky Henderson at Chepstow last month and is sure to be popular here in receipt of a mares' allowance. However, preference is for SIZABLE SAM, who built on a second here in November last year when impressing at Warwick in February. The way he galloped on relentlessly to claim victory on that occasion suggests he will appreciate the step up in trip on his hurdles bow and Jeremy Scott's five-year-old looks a smart prospect. A move up in distance is likely to also suit Jeremy Pass, who was twice outpaced in bumpers last term but is foolish to ignore now hurdling representing a top operation. Electron Bleu has experience on his side, with Iron Mike an interesting Flat recruit for Nick Mitchell.
