DUMB LOVE is the percentage call on the back of a pair of runner-up efforts in Ireland last month, although James Owen’s Rogue Tornado has achieved enough on the Flat to think he could be a big threat if taking to hurdling at the first time of asking. Chillhi should have more to come in this sphere and is next on the list

CLEAR THE RUNWAY and Ciel de Neige have both been operating some way below their best for a while now but, on the upside, the handicapper has shown mercy and they will surely capitalise on their falling marks sooner rather than later. Marginal preference is for the former, who hinted that he could be working his way back to form over an inadequate trip last time Kopa Kilana deserves to get his head in front over hurdles and is third choice ahead of ForThree.
