Patrick Coyne Memorial Altcar Novices' Chase (Grade 2) (GBB Race)

Unbeaten over hurdles, LAC DE CONSTANCE impressed when making a winning return/chase debut at Kempton in November. Still going well when unseating in Grade 2 company back at that venue next time, he remains very much of interest going forward and earns the vote. Stage Star has made a bright start himself in this sphere and ought to give the selection plenty to think about.
