  The standard is very much set by the 146-rated REGENT’S STROLL. This dual bumper winner finished last season’s hurdle campaign rated 134, having won twice in a five-race campaign, ending with a second in the Grade 1 Turners Mersey Novices’ Hurdle (2m4f, Good) at the Aintree Festival in April. He started this season in a Grade 2 novice chase at Newbury (2m4f, Good to Soft), where he was 4¼ lengths behind Wendigo, finishing third. That form has been strengthened, with the winner that day finishing 3¾ lengths behind the impressive Kitzbhuel over 3 miles next time out. He beat the 148-rated Jerico Du Reponet in a two-runner beginners’ chase over 2m4f (Soft, Good to Soft in places) last time, jumping with fluency throughout. He’s likely to get his own way out in front in this race, and his jumping should put these novices under big pressure behind.

  KATATE DORI made his chasing debut on this day 12 months ago, winning a 3m conditional handicap by 12 lengths off a mark of 110. Raised 7 lbs for that win, he was once again an emphatic winner of a conditional handicap, strolling home to win by 6½ lengths. Having notched up a further win off a mark of 125, he ended last season rated 137 when pulled up in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival in March. He looked to need the run on his seasonal reappearance when tiring late on at Aintree in November. However, it was a much improved effort when sixth in the 24-runner Coral Gold Cup last time. That came after being hampered following a standing start in a race where the first three home were always to the fore. He has been dropped 2 lbs for today’s race, and he should be suited by the significantly smaller field. There appears to be plenty of pace in the race, which will suit this hold-up sort who has proven to see out the trip strongly. He holds very strong claims. NAP!

  TWINJETS has hit the ground running this season, winning both of his starts so far. His seasonal reappearance came after a 330-day absence. He made every yard of the race to win convincingly off a mark of 137. He was even more impressive off a mark of 141 last time, kicking clear to win by 10 lengths, having once again been allowed to dictate matters out in front. The handicapper has raised him a further 7 lb for today, but this looks like a 9-year-old who is thriving and should be able to defy that hike in the weights and land the hat-trick.

  ROXIMAN finished third in a bumper on debut back in November. It was a race in which the front three pulled clear to finish within half a length of one another. Those three renew rivalries again today. The Paul Nicholls-trained gelding is taken to turn around that form. He was green that day and looked a little unsure of what to do when asked to go and win the race. He looks the sort who will have taken a big step forward, and he can put that experience to good use today.
