Going: Good to Soft (Soft in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneRace Tip
A case can be made for plenty of these but preference is for CHECKITOUT, who was not disgraced when finishing third in the Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree. The seven-year-old gelding was dropped 3lb for that run and he is now on the same mark as when he finished second over this C&D in October. Grand Sancy has untapped potential over staying distances and he could have say if building on his latest fourth at Newbury. Caribean Boy may have performed better than bare form suggests in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham and he is respected wearing first-time cheekpieces, while course specialist Regal Encore also makes the shortlist.
