Course bumper winner CENTARA should have derived plenty from last month's hurdling debut at Newbury when badly in need of the experience, so he's selected to open his account at the second time of asking in this sphere. Thunder N Lightnin offered something to work on at Kempton on his belated Rules debut and may improve, with Long Draw and Nila others to consider.

  1. CENTARA (IRE)
  2. THUNDER N LIGHTNIN (IRE)
  3. LONG DRAW (IRE)
