In a race bringing together most of the main British Arkle contenders a chance is taken on FINIAN'S OSCAR. Colin Tizzard's outstanding youngster shouldn't have any problem stepping back in trip as a Grade One winner over this distance over hurdles and he is very much in the 'could be anything' category. Brain Power will provide a very stern test however. Nicky Henderson's six-year old didn't do himself justice in Cheltenham and Punchestown Champion's but he was scintillating on his chase debut at Kempton. None of these five can realistically be dismissed and of the rest Capitaine is favoured despite being a little short of these over hurdles. His trainer Paul Nicholls has won this race six times.
