7/4

Latest win in chase at Worcester in May. 13/8, good second of 5 in handicap chase at Aintree (19.9f, good) 20 days ago, travelling strongly. Progressive type who should take the beating.

9/2

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. Last 3 efforts over fences have been disappointing, only third in novice at Hexham 11 days ago, but could bounce back returned to a handicap here.

Form: 250-P43

Returned from 6 months off with a hard-fought success at Bangor but was disappointing subsequently and doesn't have much room to manoeuvre from current mark.

Form: 3/234-13

PRESENTANDCOUNTING impressed with the way he travelled/jumped when runner-up at Aintree last time and has a much more compelling profile than his rivals, so he's an obvious choice. Recent Revelations has to be kept in mind for a powerful Irish yard, while Golden Taipan could make his mark if avoiding errors.
