Diese Des Bieffes is entitled to run a big race on the evidence of his efforts both in the Lanzarote Hurdle and here in the Martin Pipe, but preference is for POETIC RHYTHM. Though his course form is a mild concern, those have generally been the most competitive races that he's contested so far, and as a Grade 1 winner (albeit a weak Grade 1) having to concede just 4lb to the majority of his rivals here he can get back to winning way. At a likely bigger price, Onefortheroadtom may be able to play a hand having got back on track in a jumpers' bumper last time out.
