Verdict

A ready winner of back-to-back handicap chase contests upon returning this winter (including over C&D) LELANT had excuses on account of the soft ground when pulled up at Fontwell in December. Freshened up and now returning to a sounder surface, he could be worth siding with to get back on track. Chief Black Robe needs to shrug off a lesser run over hurdles but is a player if doing so, whilst Fat Sam and Boys of Wexford also command a second look.
