Verdict

A couple of the likelier winners have overcome some problems and, as such, have their risks attached now. BEKKENSIFRTH achieved an impressive C&D novice success here in December 2015 before enduring more than 700 days on the sidelines. After a return spin over hurdles, he showed plenty promise this month at Sandown and, dropped 2lb, should go close in this having proved his ability remains intact. Kincora Fort spent 900 days away following a Kempton handicap hurdle win in May 2015 and was also give a couple of spins over hurdles to ease him back before a promising second on his chase bow at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. Last month's Chepstow scorer Lord Bryan is also capable of bouncing back having had excuses here last time out.
  1. Bekkensfirth
  2. Kincora Fort
