Gordon Elliot won this race back in 2007 with Silver Birch and TIGER ROLL would appear to be the strongest of his trio for this year's race. The eight-year-old has plenty of experience for one of his age and he's proven over similar trips, as seen when landing the four mile race at last year's Cheltenham Festival. He was impressive when winning the Cross Country at this year's Festival and if he arrives in the same form, he ought to run well. Raz De Maree was an impressive Welsh National winner who has been freshened up since and a 6lb rise for that effort is fair while Milansbar has been in fine form this season and is another with each-way claims.
