High-class chaser. Latest win in chase at Gowran in February. Below-par fifth of 7 to Allaho in Ryanair Chase (Festival Trophy) (16/1) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Big player back in these calmer waters.

Forecasts

Melon (1/1), Minella Times (5/2), Daly Tiger (9/2), The Shunter (6/1), Doctor Duffy (7/1), Darrens Hope (25/1), Cusp Of Carabelli (50/1)

Verdict

MELON has a lot less on his plate than when a well-held fifth in the Ryanair Chase last month and is fancied to quickly regain winning ways. The Shunter has the form to play a big part too if back on song now reverted to fences, with 2021 Grand National hero Minella Times also in the mix if none the worse for his fall in this year's renewal.
