Blueking d'Oroux hasn't shot the lights out over fences as yet but there is still plenty of time for him to turn things round off a favourable mark relative to his hurdle form. CALIFET EN VOL (nap) won with authority over C&D on his latest start, which indicated progress from his earlier chase runs, and he looks equipped to deal with a 5lb rise. A few of these have a lot more to prove on recent efforts but Ryan's Rocket, despite a couple of mishaps either side of his Newbury win, still rates as unexposed and is preferred of the remainder.[Emily Weber]
