Race preview
Olivers Travels appeared to relish the step up in trip when gaining a breakthrough success over 2m7f at Worcester recently, which is why the return to 2m in this contest may leave the five-year-old vulnerable. WILLIETHEBUILDER had some smart bumper form when racing in Ireland and could take all the stopping if transferring that to this sphere on his hurdling/stable debut for Dan Skelton. Last-time-out winner Jeudidee likely has more to offer and completes the shortlist.
