BRAVEMANSGAME will probably have to better the form of his Grade 1 Kempton win if he's to remain unbeaten over fences but he looks capable of doing just that. Pats Fancy and Grumpy Charley look potentially smart chasers in their own right and, in receipt of 16 lb, should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way.
