Nick Alexander's stable star Lake View Lad enjoyed a stellar 2018/19 season which included beating Captain Chaos by 2¾L (16lb better off) in the 2018 Rehearsal Chase, but it'll be a mighty fine weight-carrying performance if he can repeat that success. Conversely Kilfilum Cross remains handily weighted (142) if he's able to build positively upon an encouraging comeback run over an inadequate trip at Stratford (third), while maximum respect must be awarded to the fragile but talented Jonniesofa. However, the nod is for the handicap debutant and prominent-racer TOP VILLE BEN. His sights are lowered considerably from Wetherby's Grade 2 Charlie Hall Chase (3m).
