Plenty of these saw action at Cheltenham and a few come here with a point to prove either over a different distance or type of track. Conditions and the track may well suit last year’s winner God’s Own better this time around and it won’t be a surprise if he reverses Champion Chase form with Fox Norton who tries this trip for the first time. Uxizandre shouldn’t be written off on the back of one sub-par effort and with the visor worn for his last big win better is expected here. The Kerry Lee duo Kylemore Lough and Top Gamble deserve to take their chance at this level although conditions may be a little quick. Of the bigger prices Traffic Fluide is the most interesting but SUB LIEUTENANT comes here with some progressive form under his belt and with conditions looking to suit, he is given the vote on the back of his fine second in the Ryanair.
