MORODER finished last season in fine heart, winning the Grimthorpe Chase before finding only a well-in rival too good in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown, so looks as if he'll take plenty of beating if picking up where he left off. Switch Hitter remains unexposed as a handicap chaser and is also of interest, whilst Killer Kane was thriving late last season and is another player if proving as good over this extended trip.
