HYMAC impressed with his jumping when beating a big field here in the spring and has returned in good form having picked up a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot last month. He remains unexposed so could be the answer despite being 3 lb out of the handicap. Abuffalosoldier made a promising comeback at Exeter so is a must for the shortlist, with Scottish National runner-up Surrey Quest another to consider.

    Verdict
    Proved well suited by a step up to 3½m when opening his chase account here (28f) in April. Coped well with drop back in trip when making a winning return back hurdling at Newton Abbot 18 days ago and remains unexposed. Needs considering despite being 3 lb out of the handicap.

    Verdict
    Smart chaser who returned to form when landing the Grimthorpe at Doncaster on slow ground in March. Ran poorly at Sandown next time but offered something to build on when fourth of 14 in handicap chase (12/1) at this course (25f, good) on return 22 days ago. Won this 2 years ago.

    Verdict
    Produced his best effort for a while when runner-up in Sandown handicap in March and ran to a similar level when seventh of 26 in Scottish Grand National next time. Collared late on at Uttoxeter (24f) in May before shaping as if needing the run at Chepstow last month. In the mix.

    Highly progressive over fences as a novice, winning 3 handicaps before ending campaign with an excellent third in Ultima. Just the one decent effort last season when third in Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Starts the new campaign on a nice mark as a result and yard among the winners.
