SHANTOU FLYER has the ability to take high rank as a hunter chaser given his 157 rating and despite this being his first start since pulling up in last year's Grand National anything but a win would be surprising given his vast superiority to these ratings wise. Sadler's Risk pulled up in all three 2018 starts but is still rated second best and has the same 157 of the selection in his prime so rates the logical alternative. In-form pointer Road To Rome should run well and is an each-way alternative.
