Dual point-to-point scorer last year, but he's been disappointing in two starts under rules, and was well beaten when last of three on his chase bow at Leicester in December, albeit behind a smart prospect.
Much the best of these over hurdles, and best effort to date over fences when third to Esprit du Large at Exeter in October. Below form on completed start since, and dropped markedly in class after falling in a Grade 1 last time.
Irish point-to-point winner. Jumped well when third on chase debut at Hexham in June, but Unseated his rider when leading at Wetherby in December, and has a little to prove in this field.
Cost £110,000 after winning her sole Irish point-to-point, and off the mark on only start over hurdles at Southwell in December 2018. Has untapped potential, for all a lengthy absence is a concern.

Forecasts
The Mighty Don (8/11), Monbeg Zena (5/2), Too Wise Man (5/1), Colorado Doc (5/1), Coole Lion (14/1)
The Mighty Don really ought to win this based on the pick of his efforts, but his form has been rather patchy over fences, and a chance is taken on the prolific pointer COLORADO DOC to upstage him. Monbeg Zena has been confined to one run under rules since winning a point-to-point three years ago, but she's clearly talented, and remains unbeaten, so needs respect.
