Despite the rise in the weights DEFI SACRE comes here on a hat-trick still looking on a good mark after scoring well over C&D last time with the second winning on Boxing Day to give the form some credence. Amoola Gold would need to bounce back from his poor run at Aintree last time but has a chance on previous form as would Buck’s Bin's and Go Long both of whom have shown the potential to win over fences. Monsieur D’Arque is another who looks to have more to offer his fourth at Catterick last time pointing to the fact there will be more to come in the future.
