A small field, but a fairly select bunch, with former useful novice hurdlers
IMPULSIVE STAR and
Tomngerry making their respective chasing debuts. Both horses have won over hurdles at Catterick in the past and appear as intriguing prospects over the larger obstacles. Preference is for the Mulholland trained runner, as he stays particularly well, with
Alzammaar much respected and likely to pounce on any failings offered by the others given his greater level of experience over fences.
