Ballyglasheen was badly hampered before pulling up in the Fred Winter and could produce a much better effort here, but two other Fred Winter runners appeal more, with KELTUS edging the vote over Baradari. The selection was a fine fourth at Cheltenham, one place and two lengths ahead of Venetia Williams' charge, and the manner in which Paul Nicholls' inmate finished his race suggests this uphill climb to the winning post will play to his strengths. Fitzwilly is likely to be staying on at the death judging by recent efforts on the Flat, while the form of Dolores Delightful's Newbury second looks solid and she could go well.
Winner of three hurdle races and two chases from 2m 4f to 2m 7f on good and good to soft ground. A winner at 8-1 in a chase at Kelso over 2m 7f (good to soft) on his latest outing last month, beating Mr Moonshine by 4 1/2l. Has won twice at Kelso this season.

Menorah showed plenty of promise despite only managing fifth at Aintree and the drop in trip, combined with this less competitive level, could signal a big run. Rolling Aces also arrives fresh from a pleasing performance at Liverpool when finishing a valiant runner-up in the Melling Chase. The return of a tongue-tie seemingly elicited that improvement and he remains unexposed if that tack helps him perform to the best of his abilities. Ultimate preference, though, is for HUNT BALL, who failed to see out the Grand National trip but was third in the Ryanair prior to that, and still has plenty more to offer for his new handler.
Hunt Ball has shown that he retains plenty of ability back from a fruitless spell in the US and his fourth in the Ryanair Chase makes him a leading contender here. This is much more suitable than the test he faced in the Grand National last time and he can prove too strong for Rolling Aces and Menorah.

SIRE DE GRUGY has improved exponentially since signing off last season with victory in this race, earning three Grade 1 successes, including a C&D triumph in the Tingle Creek. Gary Moore's gelding surpassed those achievements, though, when he landed a six-length victory in the Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival and he will be the horse of the season for many people regardless of the result here. An inevitably short price will prompt opposition for betting purposes and Special Tiara may be a lively alternative as he could get an easier time in front than he did at Cheltenham. Claret Cloak boasts a progressive profile and looks the best of the rest if he irons out his jumping errors.
Sire de Grugy has been comfortably the best 2m chaser around this season and can cap an excellent campaign with another Grade 1 success. Claret Cloak has run blinders in highly competitive handicaps on his last two starts and can come out on top in the battle for minor honours, with Pepite Rose best of the remainder.
Winner of three hurdle races and four chases from 1m 7f to 3m on ground varying from good to heavy. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Silviniaco Conti when last of 6 on his latest outing in a Grade 1 chase in the Group 1 Betfred Bowl Chase at Aintree over 3m 1f (good). Has won twice at Ascot this season.

The potential for significant rainfall complicates matters greatly, but Spring Heeled, who remains with potential following a 9lb rise for his Kim Muir success, and the well-handicapped Same Difference, who finished second in last year's renewal off 7lb higher, would both hold compelling claims if the ground remained decent. Plenty of the others have some form of question mark next to them, with Hadrian's Approach a sketchy jumper, Roalco De Farges a potentially weak finisher and Burton Port not guaranteed to build on his Newbury promise. The suggestion, therefore, is ARDKILLY WITNESS, who has progressed nicely through the novice ranks this season, showing a sound resolution for this sort of test when second behind Relax here in January. The eight-year-old won't be inconvenienced should the ground deteriorate, and the step up to this marathon trip is likely to see further improvement for a handler who has shown his worth with staying chasers this campaign.
Same Difference finished runner-up in this race 12 months ago and is taken to go one better this time around from a 7 lb lower mark. Champion trainer-elect Paul Nicholls is ending the season with a flourish, and while Poungach comes with risks attached, he's unexposed over this sort of trip and could run well if on a 'going' day. Ardkilly Witness and Burton Port complete the shortlist.
He has won three hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 2m 4f on good to soft and soft ground. A winner at 10-1 in a Grade 3 hurdle race in the Group 3 Alder Hey Children's Charity Handicap Hurdle at Aintree over 2m 4f (good to soft) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Caid Du Berlais by a neck.

Each of the five runners have hope in what is a fascinating renewal. Medinas is the top-rated performer and this represents a significant drop in class after finishing seventh in the World Hurdle, while Southfield Theatre never seems to run a bad race and must go close if reproducing the form of his nose second in the Pertemps Final. Clondaw Kaempfer showed a great attitude when battling on to win a Grade 3 contest over 2m4f at the Aintree Festival and this extra quarter of a mile isn't a concern, but POLLY PEACHUM shades the verdict. Receiving the mare's allowance, she is best treated at these weights and was mightily impressive when supplementing her Warwick victory at Cheltenham. Seemingly improving all the time and sure to be full of confidence, a massive run is forecast. Clerk's Choice is the likely outsider, but he boasts placed form in Grade 2 company and can't be taken lightly.
There's likely even more to come from thriving mare Polly Peachum, but Southfield Theatre can gain compensation for his last-gasp defeat in the Pertemps Final. Medinas takes a drop in grade and could also get involved.
He has won two hurdle races and two chases from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to heavy. Well beaten at 8-1 behind Parsnip Pete when 13th of 16 on his latest outing in a Grade 3 chase in the Group 3 Silver Cross Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree over 2m (good). Has won at Sandown and Taunton this season.

FOUNDATION MAN would have probably collected at Wetherby last time were it not for a blunder at the last. He was three lengths ahead of his nearest pursuer until that late mistake and although he's 7lb higher and dropped in trip, he appears to be on an upward curve and is taken to gain compensation. Ballincurrig steps up in grade and is 6lb higher than his 2m4f win at Stratford earlier in the month but he merits consideration for the minor money nevertheless, likewise the consistent Massena.
She has won three hurdle races from 2m to 2m 1f on good and soft ground. Beaten 5l by Polly Peachum when second of 19 at 8-1 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Cheltenham over 2m 5f (good) earlier this month.

Grade 1 winner L'UNIQUE is the class act in the race and looks capable of conceding weight to this field based on two encouraging performances at Cheltenham of late. Alan King's mare got within a length and a half of the brilliant Quevega in the Grade 2 Mares Hurdle at the festival two starts back and ran a cracker in handicap company there last time. She remains off a workable mark and should appreciate coming back to 2m4f. Kaylif Aramis has enjoyed a profitable season and deserves a lot of credit for his latest Aintree run behind Doctor Harper, for which he's gone up 3lb, while Barry Geraghty prefers Vasco Du Ronceray to stablemate Cash And Go and the Al Namix gelding should be fitter for his reappearance at Aintree earlier this month.
A useful and competitive handicap to conclude proceedings. Henryville shaped like a horse still ahead of his mark when coming from a long way back to finish second last time and is taken to resume winning ways, but there are plenty of dangers, headed by Kaylif Aramis, L'Unique and Cash And Go.
