This looks a lot easier than the race he missed at Cheltenham recently. The gelding has a fair bit of weight to concede but he has a touch of class and is going to make this a stern test for rest (all of whom bar Mad Jack Mytton and Aqua Dude are forced to race from out of the weights).
Dropped in the weights but has shown little to suggest his enthusiasm is brimming of late. On the plus side, he goes well at this course and should be unfazed by the state of the ground.
A consistent type who likes to race up with the pace, so can make this a good test. He does need to brush up on his jumping though, as he has failed to complete in two of his three starts over fences.
Acts with cut in the ground and made good progress over hurdles last year. He is yet to set the world alight over fences but looks the type to pay his way given time. He needs to improve vastly if OO Seven is on his A-game.
Modest form since joining his new yard and hard to see him getting off the mark over fences if the likely favourite runs anywhere near his official rating.

Very hard to oppose OO SEVEN at this level and he is fancied to make the most of this drop in grade. Aqua Dude has a more consistent profile than Mad Jack Mytton and is forwarded as the biggest threat.
