This looks likely to come down to those higher in the weights, including Landmarque, who won here over hurdles last time out and could have more to offer at a course where he has shown plenty of ability, and Boss In Boots, who often disappoints in the winter before going on to bigger and better things during a spring campaign. Preference though is for promising novice MISTER DON, who can come on from a disappointing couple of runs to make it a third win over fences. 1. Mister Don 2. Boss In Boots 3. Landmarque
