ETALON has been quick to mark himself down as a potentially smart novice with back-to-back victories over fences upon returning to action this winter and Dan Skelton's charge is fancied to defy another small rise in the weights and complete the hat-trick. Gunsight Ridge was firmly in the mix when falling 4 out at Wetherby in January and he's a danger. Xcitations, who is 2-2 over this C&D, and Fast Buck complete the shortlist.
