SCEAU ROYAL was third in this race two years ago and also won the Elite Hurdle over C&D earlier that same season. Alan King's runner has earned his crust as a very good chaser since, winning five from seven over those obstacles. The stable are in good form and he's likely prepped for jumping hurdles again, ensuring he earns the call. A wind operation seemed to eke some improvement from Vision Des Flos last time (though his trainer believes the winner was 'toying with him' at Sandown 14 days ago). He can fill the runner-up berth ahead of the prolific Grand Sancy.
