Empire De Maulde is clearly of interest having won his last two hurdles starts, but he been off for some time and could be forgiven for needing this reappearance on his chase debut. Also making his first appearance over fences is
POGUE, and with his trainer's good record here to fuel confidence and soft ground a positive, he may prove up to the task.
Mah Mate Bob is another likely to be popular with punters and is feared in opposition, while
Inca Gold and
Monsieur D'Arque are others of interest in a competitive event.
