The Manifesto Chase took on a whole different complexion with the defection of Defi Du Seuil earlier on in the week, and also news that the admirable mare La Bague Au Roi would swerve the 3m option on account of rain-softened ground. Warren Greatrex's mare is as game as a pebble, and in remaining unbeaten over fences has already accounted for a few of these rivals. She should run her usual rock-solid race, but with just a few nagging doubts persisting about her suitability to Aintree, a chance is taken on the 2m4f specialist BAGS GROOVE who is 4-6 over the larger obstacles, and can probably be excused his flop in the 3m Kauto Star Novices' Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.
