Preference is for CLEAN GETAWAY, who goes particularly well here and should be spot on after his return at Carlisle last month. Delpotro and Conquer The Breeze rate the principal dangers.

Verdict
Successful 2 out of his 3 starts over fences in France for Gabriel Leenders and shaped better than previously for current yard in recent starts, latest when creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Plumpton (17f, good) 40 days ago. Likely player.

Showed first form over fences at Market Rasen in March and built on that when good second of 7 in handicap chase over C&D (good) 32 days ago. Holds solid claims.

Verdict
Four-time winner at this course (at up to 19.9f) last autumn. Likely needed outing, back from 4 months off, at Carlisle 24 days ago and must enter calculations back here.

Justified support over C&D in March. Not been at same level either start since but remains on a workable mark if return to this venue sparks revival.

Verdict
Veteran Flat performer won on the level at Musselburgh in November. However, established as a poor maiden chaser so easy enough to look elsewhere.
