9/2 |
Safe Destination
Has won three of his last five chases and probably his best effort yet when second off his career-high mark at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft); solid chance with Toby McCain-Mitchell again claiming the 7lb.

Roger Rarebit
May prefer softer ground (has won on soft and heavy) but he's come back well from a break and 2m4f would have been on the sharp side last time; has a mistake in him but often jumps well.

Castle Daragh
Won a C&D hunter chase last April on his rules debut but has totally failed to back up that form in three subsequent outings; potentially on a useful mark but easy to have reservations.

- Exmoor Forest
- Non Runner / N J Hawke

Exmoor Forest
He's been right in the thick of things in his three runs after a wind operation, all of them handicap chases at about 3m (close up behind Safe Destination in the latest); looks handicapped about right but has to be considered.

- Militaire
- Brendan Powell / W Greatrex

3/1 |
Militaire
Still a maiden but it was only his second run over fences when pushing an in-form rival close at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); only 1lb higher and on breeding he has every chance of staying this new trip.

Ask Brewster
It was a tactical three-runner race that he won on chase debut at Ludlow (3m, good) in October but soundly beaten since then; has ground to make up with two of these on his latest Taunton effort.

7/2 |
The Midwife
Better chaser than hurdler and won by over 8l here last month; a 7lb rise didn't look too harsh and she duly ran well again at Warwick, finding only one too good (again on soft); enters the reckoning.

- Wot You Wearing
- Sean Houlihan / R Stephens

Wot You Wearing
Three-time hurdle winner but out of form in that discipline of late and now goes chasing; risky.

- S Bowen / P & M Bowen

Dreams Of Diamonds
Well in with Safe Destination on their clash at Uttoxeter last October and has produced similar sort of form in his last three races, all 3m handicaps on slow ground (effective on good to soft); unlikely to be far away.
