2.10pm – Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle (3m)

A lot has been made of the testing ground this week, but it was nearly as soft on the Wednesday two years ago when FAROUK D'ALENE shaped really well in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase. He might have been second behind L'Homme Presse that day, but fell two out. He has a lot of other form in deep ground so should have no issue with conditions, while Rob James takes off an additional 7lb from the topweight's welter burden.

Selection: Farouk D'Alene
