Top-class Irish chaser FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES was an impressive winner of Aintree's Melling Chase when last seen on these shores in the spring so he looks the way to go given he also handles the mud really well. Fanion d'Estruval represents the all-conquering Venetia Williams and is feared most, although King George third Saint Calvados and last year's victor Dashel Drasher should also have a say.
