An interesting race. There was a lot to like about DE YOUNG WARRIOR's chase debut success at Exeter so he's taken to make light of a 4 lb rise but there are plenty of dangers, headed by fellow last-time-out scorer Slipway. Eva's Oskar, who can surely be forgiven his run from out of the weights in the Welsh National, and Sail Away are also on the shortlist.
