CAPTAINS NEPHEW was a wide-margin winner over hurdles on his previous visit to this venue earlier in the year, and with better to come in this sphere, Philip Rothwell's 6-y-o is fancied to open his account over the larger obstacles now sent down the handicap route. Chosen Diamond made a winning chasing debut at Naas last month, so he's put forward as the main threat, with Time Marches On and Midnight It Is also considered.
