10/3
Returned to best on back of reappearance run when landing 6-runner Sandown handicap in November, well served by run of the race. Not disgraced from inflated mark when third at Newbury (16.4f) since and he ought to go well again.

5/2
Absent since respectable fifth at Aintree last December but worth noting he has gone well fresh previously. Returns on a fair mark and is stlll relatively low mileage as a chaser, so can't be discounted despite absence.

20/1
Sparingly campaigned veteran who enhanced his good Aintree record when third in Red Rum chase in April. Still in touch when falling 4 out on return at Ascot (16.7f) in November and he's fallen back down to last winning mark.

5/1
C&D winner who wasn't disgraced on the back of 7 months off when runner-up to a deeply impressive winner over extended 19f here in November. Comes here operating from career-low mark but strike rate in this sphere hardly the most compelling.

15/8
Promising winning hurdler who matched pick of form in that sphere (equipped with blinkers) when landing 2m Sandown handicap last month, in command leaving back straight and idling late on. Up 5 lb but could yet have more to offer.

Forecasts

Mount Tempest (15/8), Gunsight Ridge (5/2), Xcitations (10/3), Cornerstone Lad (5/1), The Last Day (20/1)

Verdict

MOUNT TEMPEST proved a different proposition equipped with first-time blinkers when opening his chase account at Sandown 5 weeks ago and a 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold showing on that evidence. Xcitations and the returning Gunsight Ridge head the dangers.

  1. Mount Tempest15/8
  2. Xcitations10/3
  3. Gunsight Ridge5/2
