Knight Pass lost his unbeaten record in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March and is sure to be in the firing-line if taking to hurdling but OUTRAGEOUS REQUEST is given another chance. He was sent off favourite over hurdles at Taunton earlier this month but fell at the sixth and can make amends if completely recovered. Greywell Boy finished a respectable third at Chepstow on his first start over timber and should be thereabouts, while hurdling debutant Albertus Pictor is worth keeping an eye on having won for Sir Mark Prescott on the Flat.
