This revolves around the stamina of Kabral Du Mathan and there can be optimism he'll stay in view of his strong finish up the Cheltenham hill for a comfortable win in the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle over a extended 2m4f last month. However, the combination of a short price and uncertain stamina create a temptation to look elsewhere. Of the alternatives, French Ship is also going into the unknown stamina-wise, while Henri The Second needs to prove he can do it away from Sandown and Beauport arrives on the back of a poor run. Therefore LUD'OR is an interesting each-way option. He is in good form and stays the trip. Last year's runner-up Beauport has had wind surgery since his last run and is second choice from an each-way perspective.[Ben Hutton]
