This step up to beyond 3m for the first time should suit ROE AND CO who is taken to extend his winning sequence to 4. To Be Sure can bounce back from a lesser run last time and give the selection most to think about.

Losing run is mounting up but he largely ran with credit in the first half of this season, including over C&D. Type to bounce back from a poor effort at Fakenham (distant fourth) last time.

Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who offered little in a trio of runs for Sam England and similar story in 2 hurdle starts for Ryan Pooter towards the end of 2025. Well-held sixth on his previous chase start.
