First run over the National fences; inconsistent this season and no match for stablemate Madara (who remains Harry Skelton's mount) when ninth of 23 in the Plate at Cheltenham last month; however, Aintree brought out the best in him last year and he's well handicapped on that form; one to consider.

11st 7lb

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Dan Skelton

Has hurdle form at Cheltenham over a similar trip to today's but he races mostly on sharp tracks, albeit with soft ground against him in January when well back in his sole chase start here; never showed with a chance when upped to 3m at Kempton recently and he's no strong option to improve a 2-15 strike-rate over fences; yard runs two others with better claims.

J: Harry Atkins

Only 2-14 as a chaser but has been highly tried on occasions, as when not far away in a 2m4f Grade 1 at Aintree last April; another good run in a Grade 2 here last month (RPR right up there with his best) and soft ground was no good to him back in a handicap at Cheltenham; patient tactics are likely now sent further and could be interesting with Harry Atkins claiming 7lb, provided conditions don't soften.

Six of his seven wins have come on good ground, and he's been below par on soft; ran creditably when third of four in Grade 2 at Kempton (goes well there) two weeks ago but he faces a sterner assignment conceding weight to some smart handicappers here.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Won Grade 2 novice at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last November and posted a career-best performance when fourth in the Grade 1 Manifesto Novices' Chase over this C&D (good to soft) in April; reappears with top yard in good form and he's a strong candidate back here.
