Just the 2 runners but there are plenty of questions to answer. LAURENS BAY has to prove his stamina for 3m but this is unlikely to be a searching test and representing an in-form yard, he has a more compelling profile than Dartan.

Verdict
Unreliable sort. Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 15/8, third of 4 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (25.4f, good) 98 days ago, going in snatches. First run for yard after leaving Matthew J. Smith and while he's never really convinced over fences, he's been found a match.

Verdict
Bumper-winner who signed off last season in fine style when landing a big-field handicap at Sandown in March (19.8f). Runner-up in a point and returns for yard in excellent form, he's likely to take to fences.
