Recent Bangor third, Pas Trop Tard may prove best of those with experience but they look a modest bunch and this can go to a newcomer. Sisterly Love looks nothing special on breeding, but Benjamin Bittern's dam won on the all-weather and he could figure. However, SOLEIL MALTA is a half-brother to bumper winners in France, as well as a winning hurdler and chaser, and Mick Easterby's charge looks to have a good opportunity to open his account on his racecourse debut.
