KING ALFONSO has gone up the weights following recent victories in lesser company, but he has the measure of McCabe Creek on 2017 form and is in better form than most of these. Dark Invader is not a fluent jumper of fences but he is perfectly happy here, whilst Salto Chisco has been dealt a poor hand by the assessor. Saffron Prince will be a big danger from the foot of the weights. He clearly did not give his running last time and his winning form in similar grade off the same mark shows he cannot be dismissed lightly.
