Winner 11 times in a 74 race career including twice over fences. Well held over hurdles in recent starts and beaten 27L in last chase start last month.
Has had plenty of experience over fences and arrives in good heart after running really well at Worcester and winning here over CD and raised 6lb for that win.
From the Point-To-Point circuit, third of 10, beaten 30+L last month at Trecoed, before an encouraging third of 10 in Southwell handicap chase last day.
One paced mare who hasn't shown enough in recent starts to suggest she is likely to be a major player in this event.
Forecasts
Agentleman (2/1), Saffron Prince (10/3), Alottarain (10/3), No No Cardinal (7/1), Humbel Ben (15/2), Guaracha (16/1), Changing The Guard (22/1)
Veteran Changing The Guard will take the field along here, with Guaracha and No No Cardinal in behind. The latter is one for the shortlist, as is Humbel Ben, but preference is for AGENTLEMAN, encouraging third of 10 in Southwell handicap chase last day.
