1/10

Hasn't stood much racing in recent times but his 2 best efforts over fences have come over this C&D, arguably unlucky not to win the Champion Chase in 2021 before impressive winner of this race on comeback last season. Goes well fresh and another big run is on the cards.

Form: 123/143-

16/1

Smart winning hurdler/chaser at his best for Noel Meade but has lost his way and offered little for new yard at Ascot last month. Headgear on.

Form: 440F-06

Ganapathi^t⁸⁵

10/1

Useful chaser who has been holding his form well but sold from W. P. Mullins for £38,000 in September. Firmly up against it in this company.

Forecasts

Nube Negra (1/10), Edwardstone (4/6), Ganapathi (10/1), Daly Tiger (16/1), Sizing Pottsie (16/1)

A potential match between Arkle-winner EDWARDSTONE and Nube Negra. The latter confirmed his effectiveness over C&D when making an impressive winning return in this last season but giving 3 lb away to the equally talented Edwardstone may prove beyond him.
