Experience often counts in novice chases so BEL AMI DE SIVOLA gets the nod despite disappointing in his chasing debut. He was the only one to seriously threaten the impressive winner that day and ultimately it cost him second late on. Among the best of these over hurdles also, Noel Meade's charge has the strongest credentials. Gordon Elliott saddles the useful Diamond King to win this last season and he has two interesting runners here. Of the duo unexposed Midnight Escape makes the most appeal. Damut has pieces of form over fences that would put him right in the mix so can't be dismissed.
