LULAMBA looked potentially top class when easily winning the Henry VIII Novices' Chase at Sandown on only his second chase start 9 weeks ago and is fancied to complete the hat-trick up against more experienced rivals. Saint Segal and Calico both arrive at the top of their game and can give the selection most to think about.
