HAREL DU MARAIS produced a promising first effort over the larger obstacles when fourth at Leicester in January so, provided he's none the worse for his last fence fall at Sedgefield last time, Mark Walford's 7-y-o can come out on top at the expense of fellow grey Royal Mer, who has enjoyed a productive campaign and has a career-high mark to overcome as a result. Previous C&D winner Beat The Edge comes with risks attached but he can fill out third.
