Winner of a Grade Two and a Grade Three in Ireland and picked up by new connections for £56,000 in September. Shaped like he needed the run here last time out and capable of scoring off this kind of mark, in conditions he's proven himself in.
3lb lower than last win when he scored at Newbury at the back end of 2015. Most of his wins have come in the mud and it was a promising performance at Wetherby last time. Course winner and no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts.
Previous C&D winner who should enjoy the forecast conditions. Usually jumps well but handicap mark looks on the high side for now and this looks competitive.
Won good event at Newbury's Hennessy meeting but has been out of luck since in two outings. Handicapper has eased him 1lb but best form has come on quicker ground.
Has looked more or less in the grip of the handicapper although was a fine fifth in the Grand Annual Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last March. Has dropped though to something closer to his last winning rating and shouldn't be ruled out.
In good form of late and duly scored last time out at Haydock to take that race for the second year running. Revised mark requires a career best now though and probably not improving at this age.
Has been in good form over hurdles and chases, winning his last three starts. He may still be up to conceding a 6lb hike following his latest victory on heavy ground at Chepstow and should go close.
Forecasts
Dream Bolt (3/1), Grey Gold (4/1), Pearls Legend (9/2), Bold Henry (11/2), Bright New Dawn (6/1), Ubaltique (8/1), Ultragold (8/1)
GREY GOLD more than hinted at a return to form at Wetherby last time and he should enjoy the conditions of the race so he ought to close off what could be a lenient mark. Bright New Dawn has a similar profile and he should come on for his recent reappearance at this course. If there's one with more to come, it's likely to be Dream Bolt who is lightly raced for his age and beat Ubaltique in heavy ground when last seen.
1. Grey Gold
2. Bright New Dawn
3. Dream Bolt
