2/1
Smart C&D winner who ran another solid race when chasing home a well-handicapped sort at Wetherby (15f) last December. Teed himself up nicely for a return to chasing with a good fourth over hurdles at Carlisle (20f) 3 weeks ago and worth considering from handy mark.

10/3
Successful from 3 lb lower mark at Musselburgh (15.8f) in February and produced another good effort when fifth in Red Rum handicap in April. Unseated early on return in October but entitled to be sharper for his run on heavy ground at Kelso (17f) 4 weeks ago.

22/1
Very smart chaser in his pomp for Noel Meade. Not got near that level in handful of starts for present yard but did at least hint at a revival before stamina run dry over extended 3m at Aintree 4 weeks ago. Task now is to build on that effort.

15/8
Left opening pair of exploits over fences in his wake when successful at Ffos Las in January and matched that form when second at Uttoxeter (20f) in April. Respectable fourth on return (following wind op) at Aintree (15.8f) 2 weeks ago and he's one to be interested in.

11/2
Lightly raced on the back of success at Aintree (15.8f) last June, and he again ran well when third of 10 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (17f) in October, plenty to do home turn and staying on gradually. May not have reached his limit in this sphere but this understandably tougher.

Forecasts

Real Stone (15/8), Cheddleton (2/1), Pay The Piper (10/3), Fearless (11/2), Daly Tiger (22/1)

Verdict

An intriguing small-field affair with the narrow vote in favour of Dan Skelton's REAL STONE. Successful at Ffos Las in January, he shaped as if he would come on for his reappearance effort at Aintree 2 weeks ago and there's a strong suspicion he remains on a good mark. Cheddleton, with an encouraging hurdles return under his belt, and Pay The Piper, from an easing mark, head up the dangers.
