KALASHNIKOV is the star turn here and bar a fall is surely going to prove very hard to beat. A very talented hurdler, he made a satisfactory chase debut when scoring at Warwick and should have learned plenty from the experience. He can enhance his Arkle Chase claims. French import Envoye Special receives 11lb from the selection but will need to be smart if he is to bustle up the likely hot favourite, while Attest looks the type who should win a few races over fences and has place prospects on his chasing bow.
