J: Alex Edwards

Has won a couple of Class 3 chases, three-milers at Ludlow (good to soft) and Kempton (good); has shown that he can live with current mark but the depth of today's race demands a career best from him.

J: Alex Edwards

Well suited by sharp/flat tracks, as his C&D win (on good ground) last May confirms; Cheltenham wasn't his thing in November and he duly bounced back at Ludlow (3m, soft; close second) last month; solid claims in another favourable scenario.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Mel Rowley

Dropped away after forcing the pace at Cheltenham a month ago when perhaps in need of the run; struck form in the spring, winning over C&D (good to soft) and following up at Kempton (good); 8lb higher than latterly but only a 7yo with just 11 runs behind him; considered.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 116

Form & Verdict
Started life over fences on a fine mark and has taken full advantage with Huntingdon and Musselburgh wins (made all in both); still looked in front of the game in the second of those so 9lb rise not impossible; also takes a major leap in class and further rain would be a slight concern.

Four-time chase winner for Greenall-Guerriero stable; has a patchy record but he's run well in two of his three starts for current yard, including a clear second at Market Rasen (3m, soft) last month; has claims if he can back that up and his last win was off 1lb higher.

Four-time chase winner (once over C&D) for Greenall-Guerriero stable; made quite pleasing seasonal/stable debut when second of four at Ludlow (3m1f, good) in November but ran very poorly at Hereford last month and needs to bounce back from that.

Two of his four chasing wins have come here and was in fine form before Christmas; well beaten at Hereford latest and stamina for 3m has to be taken on trust (all wins up to 2m5f).

Still going okay until a bad error at Worcester latest, but hard to be confident on the preceding chase and point efforts this year that he'd have gone very close; 0-14 going left-handed versus 4-11 clockwise.
