18/1
Veteran campaigner who enhanced his fine Kempton record on the back of 7 months off when landing a 2¼m handicap in May, under a typically fluent front-running display. Below best all 3 starts since though, well-beaten last of 5 behind Sir Tivo at Stratford latest.

13/8
Smart at best on the Flat and completed a 4-timer over hurdles (3 wins in handicaps) for previous yard last season. Even better switched to fences for new connections, completing 4-timer in good style at Southwell (15.8f) 4 weeks ago. Well worthy of interest again.

10/3
Likeable, versatile campaigner who completed a hurdles/chase hat-trick at Wetherby (15f) last autumn. Largely gave his running since, good second returned to the Flat at Pontefract (17.1f) 12 days ago. Should be thereabouts again with rider taking off handy 5 lb.

5/2
C&D winner who is an excellent advert for his stable, producing yet another career-best display when landing 5-runner Stratford handicap chase (17f) 4 weeks ago. Edged up the weights a little more but another good showing not ruled out.

6/1
Course winner. Made most of good opportunities to bag 4 small-field chase events (at up to 20.3f) last summer. Operating below best when last seen, tailed off early final circuit at Newton Abbot (16.3f0 in June but freshened up since.

Forecasts

Al Zaraqaan (13/8), Sir Tivo (5/2), El Borracho (10/3), Geromino (6/1), Mercian Prince (18/1)

Verdict

AL ZARAQAAN has made a fine start over fences for Sam England, completing a 4-timer with plenty to spare at Southwell 4 weeks ago, and a 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold bid to maintain his 100% record over fences. Highly-admirable pair Sir Tivo and El Borracho are obvious threats.

  1. Al Zaraqaan13/8
  2. Sir Tivo5/2
  3. El Borracho10/3
