T: Nicky Henderson

Relished step up in trip when winning C&D handicap (good to soft) in November and won the Grade 2 Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury (3m, soft) and Grade 1 Long Walk at Ascot (3m, good to soft) on his next two starts, with Strong Leader in second on both occasions; below par at Cheltenham on last two runs (good record there previously) and it was disconcerting that he was pulled up in the Stayers', but he's in the picture if back to his best.

J: Nico de Boinville

Handicap runner-up at last year's Festival; made it 3-3 over staying trips in the Grade 1 Long Walk at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in December; not seen to same effect when 7l second to Ma Shantou in the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle over C&D in January but was conceding 6lb to the winner and the soft going perhaps wasn't ideal; could have a part to play if bouncing back to his best.

A revelation this season since upped to staying trips, winning a handicap at Aintree (3m, good to soft) and enjoying further success in Grade 2 Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury (3m, soft) and Grade 1 Long Walk at Ascot (3m, good to soft); beat Strong Leader by just over 1l last time and he's produced positive performances on both previous runs here; he's the one to beat.

T: Nicky Henderson

Upwardly mobile 7yo with a fine strike-rate; has taken his form to a higher level this term, winning handicap at Aintree and Grade 2 Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury (3m, soft; beat Strong Leader in tight finish); 6lb worse off with Strong Leader today but he may not have reached his limit just yet.

J: Nico de Boinville

T: Nicky Henderson

Progressive handicapper who won here on last season's reappearance and improved for the step up in trip to win at Aintree (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago following a break; he did it convincingly off top weight last time, albeit with hurdles omitted, and is firmly in calculations today.
