6/4
Dual hurdle winner. Still without a win over fences but he did shape quite well both starts this season and has plenty of experience in this sphere compared to his rivals.

10/3
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in 2018/19. Struggled after a promising return last season but showed an aptitude for chasing when sixth of 18 at Uttoxeter on comeback and entitled to improve.

9/1
Fairly useful chaser/hurdler for Paul Nicholls who typically pulled hard when a respectable fourth over C&D on debut for new yard on return. Let down by jumping here 12 days ago. Not straightforward.

Yet to get her head in front but fair form to be placed all 5 starts over hurdles, including when third in novice here on return. Chase debut.

Forecasts

Slanelough (6/4), Sophie Fatale (3/1), Alrightjack (10/3), Sao (9/1), Knight Destroyer (9/1)

Verdict

SLANELOUGH has plenty of experience over fences and can put that to good use here having shaped well on both his starts so far this season. Alrightjack had quite a few behind him in a better race than this on his return/chase debut at Uttoxeter so rates the main threat.

  1. SLANELOUGH (IRE)
  2. ALRIGHTJACK (IRE)
  3. KNIGHT DESTROYER (IRE)
