KELCE enjoyed an excellent first season as a chaser and is fancied to continue his progression on reappearance. He gets the vote ahead of Smugglers Haven who is one the least exposed in this field and could progress again on just her fourth start over fences, while The Newest One merits respect racing off a 1 lb lower mark than when successful in this contest last year.
