Call The Cops will need to jump better than he did at Southwell to get off the mark over hurdles here and we'll take him on with SKY WATCH. The latter couldn't match the speed of Doctor Harper at Exeter on his reappearance but the extra yardage here should help and the winner wasn't disgraced in a better race at Cheltenham on Saturday. Auld Sthock was third in a handicap over track and trip four weeks ago but may lack the scope of his likely market rivals. There is more to come from Ascot third Knock House, however, and Marcihac was second in a Listed chase at Auteuil in the spring.
