Won this in 2022. A success in France in the autumn shows he's still useful at this late stage of his career but he was pulled up at Aintree when last seen in December. Stiff task on these terms.

Most progressive staying chaser last season, winning Thyestes and Bobbyjo before seeing off stablemate I Am Maximus in the Grand National at Aintree. Presumably using this as a warm up for a return to Aintree but could still go well.

8/13
High-class chaser and course winner. 8/1, 5½ lengths second of 9 to Grangeclare West in Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse 24 days ago, clear of rest. The one to beat.

Forecasts

Gerri Colombe (8/13), Nick Rockett (13/8), Perceval Legallois (11/2), Roi Mage (12/1), The Gradual Slope (66/1)

Verdict

GERRI COLOMBE ran his most encouraging race of the campaign when runner-up in last month's Bobbyjo and can build on that and prove too strong for returning Grand National hero Nick Rockett.
