BILLYTHEREALBIGRED couldn't have been much more impressive on his return/chase debut at Bangor in October and, with further improvement anticipated, he's fancied to defy a 12 lb rise and remain unbeaten in this sphere. Second choice is Royal Jewel, who resumed where he left off last winter when finishing runner-up on chase debut at Newton Abbot recently, with Dartmoor Pirate rounding off the shortlist.
