GLOBAL CITIZEN signed off for last term with a gutsy win in Cheltenham's Grand Annual Chase and still looks on a handy mark for his return so gets the vote with his yard among the winners. Clear The Runway also returns from a break and this progressive type rates a big threat in his bid for a five-timer. C&D scorer Bathiva and last year's winner Leapaway need factoring in too in a cracking handicap.
