Laurens Bay
5/2
Only the 4 runners but an intriguing renewal nevertheless. Smart hurdler SALVER tried to keep tabs with Lulamba over a shorter trip on chase debut and may prove a different proposition over 3m. He gets the vote ahead of Doyen Quest who carries a 3 lb penalty for his impressive win in the 'Future Stars' at Exeter and is likely to make another bold bid, while it would be no surprise to see Quebecois (runner-up to Doyen Quest) or Laurens Bay improve markedly second time up over fences.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: In a race that lacks confirmed pace-forcers, Doyen Quest could get the run of things: Of the better-fancied horses, Salver is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Laurens Bay traded at more than 10 times Betfair SP and 2 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts: Salver traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
