Verdict

FOREST BIHAN was a winner off this mark in October and he can record his fifth chase win by defying top weight in the opening handicap chase. Theinval can finish runner-up for the second time this month having placed at Aintree last week while Vaniteux can put a disappointing Cheltenham effort behind him by finishing third.
  1. Forest Bihan
