Despite having to give weight all round, GETAWAY TRUMP is a smooth traveller for the Paul Nicholls team. He was serene when beating some nice types at Ayr last and can go in again.
GROWL could well have finally slipped to a winning mark and with Connor Murtagh taking a further 5lb off he could finally get his head in front after a string of good handicap runs last season.
Definitly Red was still in with a chance when he was brought down in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham at huge odds but he may just find BLACK CORTON has the measure of him here.
A tricky race to get a handle on. If Eqtidaar shows the form he displayed in winning a Group One at Royal Ascot then he will take all the beating but HEY GAMAN has some good back form and is actually rated better by the BHA.
With Cyrname out due to the ground we are denied the chance to see a battle of the top two UK chasers this season. ALTIOR should record his 19th win from his last 19 runs and set the seal on his greatness.
20 runners contest this devilish handicap and a certain amount of trust has to be taken that ROCK THE KASBAH's fall at Aintree hasn't taken it's toll but he's run well in this race before coming second and sixth in the last two renewals.
Plenty of these have some good form on all-weather surfaces. It's interesting to note GET BACK GET BACK making his debut on the turf after some progressive runs this winter with the services of Adam Kirby a bonus.
