The inimitable UN DE SCEAUX has done plenty to silence his detractors this season with a hat-trick of Grade One wins. Had he run in the Champion Chase last month, there's every chance he might have won given what befell stablemate Douvan, but instead he delivered a virtuoso performance in securing the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham. His approach to the game isn't to be found in any textbook, but he has huge talent and can add to his impressive CV here. Fox Norton deservedly leads the dangers after his stellar performance in the Melling Chase for the Tizzard team. He had a tough race at Cheltenham however and despite coasting home on Merseyside, this might find him out. Last year's winner God's Own requires this venue to bring out an upturn in fortunes while Grand Annual winner Rock The World looks best placed of the remaining quartet to hit the frame.
