MR WHIPPED looked a genuine Cheltenham contender last season over hurdles before under performing the last twice and Nicky Henderson's five-year-old could have similar aspirations down the line over fences based on a very promising start at that racecourse on his chase debut against four previous winners where he was a close but rallying third.
Springtown Lake is the biggest danger with a win already under his belt but the 5lb penalty swings the vote in his rivals favour.
Knockrobin looks set to be better over fences than hurdles but has plenty to find with the selection though a line with Count Meribel.
