Tom Scudamore J David Pipe, Wellington T B Elms Stud Co Ltd & G. Peck W & S Recycling S TIMEFORM VIEW Smart chaser who scored at Aintree over hurdles in November and comes here on the back of a fine second in Coral Gold Cup (26f) 31 days ago, pulling clear with Le Milos.

Jack Quinlan J Ben Case, Banbury T B Joseph and Anthony Smiddy David Andrews Construction Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Won twice over hurdles and runner-up 4 times over fences prior to deservedly getting his head in front in a handicap at Uttoxeter (22.5f, soft) last month. 7lb rise means he’ll need a big career best to follow up, however.

Lorcan Williams J Paul Nicholls, Ditcheat T B S.C.E.A. Haras Des Sablonnets et al Morson Group S TIMEFORM VIEW Smart hurdler who didn’t really convince during first stint chasing and considerately handled returning from 23 months off in that sphere when last of 3 at Haydock (21.6f) last month.

Robert Dunne J Christian Williams, Bridgend T B The Daraiyna Syndicate NAF S TIMEFORM VIEW Placed 3 times in Grade 3 handicaps last spring. Yet to fire in three runs this term, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (22.4f) 31 days ago so others appeal more. TFRHHIII BHA137
Tom O’Brien J Philip Hobbs, Minehead T B Lady Bland Philip Hobbs Racing, Equine Bio Genie Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Useful sort who resumed with a good second of 9 to Larry in handicap chase at Ascot (23.8f) 39 days ago. He can’t be discounted off an unchanged mark. TFRHHHII BHA133

O Carl Hinchy and Mark Scott
Christian Williams, Bridgend T B A. V. Bloodstock NAF S TIMEFORM VIEW Is in better heart than bare form of 2 runs this term, not seen to best effect when fifth in the Becher (25.8f) at Aintree 24 days ago. Took this contest 12 months ago and back on same mark now. Player. TFRHHHHH BHA130

PLAY SMARTER Plenty are in with a shout. FIVE STAR GETAWAY landed this event 12 months ago and teed himself up well for a repeat when a promising Becher fifth so gets the vote now back on last year’s winning mark. Coral Gold Cup runner-up Remastered heads the list of dangers despite having a 4lb higher mark to overcome, with Fontaine Collonges, Tile Tapper and Flegmatik all shortlisted too in a cracking handicap.
