Won this race (good ground) last year in first-time cheekpieces off a 10lb lower mark; first and second in two small fields this season, alongside two heavy defeats in top handicaps; tried blinkers when fading right out of it at the Cheltenham Festival last time and now reverts to cheekpieces; also back on firmer ground but a new career best is needed.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (extended 3m4f, good) last April in first-time cheekpieces and returned to form when second at Windsor (2m6f, soft) in January; his jumping can sometimes lack fluency but, with first-time blinkers replacing the cheekpieces, he has an each-way chance if minimising the mistakes; fourth of 18 in the NH Chase here (3m6f, good to soft) last March.

Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (3m4f, good) last April and reappeared with Listed Intermediate win at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); also effective on soft ground; however, soundly beaten in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) last time and has something to find today.

T: Olly Murphy

Bagged a 2m4f Listed contest at Carlisle (good to soft) on return, following up his success in the big end-of-season handicap over an extended 3m4f at Sandown (good; also acts on soft) in April; however, his bid for another major prize at Newbury (3m2f; 9-1) six weeks ago was disappointing, slowly into his stride, and he needs to bounce back with another career best.

Showed great versatility to bag Listed honours over 2m4f at Carlisle (good to soft) on reappearance, following up his success in the big end-of-season handicap over 3m4f at Sandown (sole attempt in cheekpieces, which are now reapplied); this second-season chaser looks capable of further progress back up in trip; shortlisted.
