A very competitive and high-end handicap and a case can be made for quite a few but it’s ASK BEN who gets the overall vote. Still unexposed he looks sure to relish this test having been a little unfortunate at Cheltenham last time. Golan Fortune is sure to be amongst the leading fancies following his decent win last time out and he’s only 2lb higher than when second in this in 2018. Bold Plan and Great Shark are another pair that have already made their mark this season and can’t be dismissed easily. Ask Dillon ought to enjoy this test whilst Go Whatever looks dangerous having already won over C&D and despite a 6lb rise for that win it’s doubtful if the handicapper has him in his grasp yet.
