Gavin Cromwell might be able to land this for the third year running courtesy of ASK ANYTHING, who is low mileage over fences and shaped well when second in a competitive handicap last time. Gordon Elliott pair Frontal Assault, who ran a cracker in the Irish Grand National at the beginning of the month, and Jumping Jet may give the selection most to think about.
