ROYAL MER (1) posted back to back chase seconds at Wincanton tackling 4000m then Exeter attempting 3500m. Reliable profile and this venue suits. Leading contender. HORS JEU (5) returns for a second chase run after failing to complete at Lingfield contesting 3200m. If jumping holds can take a big step forward. Main danger. MON CHAMPION (2) produced a Sandown Park chase second then returned a Newbury 3300m sixth 37L down. Better than that and holds claims in this grade. Warrants consideration. PASSING KATE (4) recorded a Chepstow runner-up effort then produced a chase fifth at Exeter. Capable of a rebound and cannot be discounted.
