Neptune hurdle winner WILLOUGHBY COURT was favourite for last year's JLT novices chase at the festival until things went wrong at Cheltenham in January. He hasn't been seen since but Ben Pauling's stable star has been found a nice opportunity on return and if he is as good over fences as he was over hurdles he should be able to land this prize en-route to bigger things. Consistent sort King's Odyssey deserves his day in the sun and sooner or later will be winning again; he is the main danger. Beggar's Wishes' improvement makes him hard to ignore also.
