PILLARD steps up in trip here following a good effort over 2m when third at Huntingdon last time out. Already a winner over hurdles in France Jonjo O'Neill's charge should appreciate ground conditions and is worth siding with here and can provide another winner for a yard with a 26% strike-rate of late. The maiden Baron Du Plessis has run some solid races so far and is another who hails from a yard in form (5/26 of late) and can get the better of Decimus who is well handicapped on his old form in the race for second.
