3m 1f
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneSir Ivan was always doing enough when scoring at Newbury last time and would have a good chance if continuing his fine run of form from last season. However, preference is for SOLDIER OF LOVE, who has his sights lowered having pulled up at both the Cheltenham Festival and in the Scottish Grand National most recently. Paul Nicholls' charge notched up a hat-trick of course-and-distance victories during a four-timer last summer and can bounce back to his best off a mark just 2lb higher than the last of those triumphs. Highest Sun looks the pick of Colin Tizzard's pair, while Rocky's Treasure could surprise in first-time blinkers.
