Verdict

A chasing debutant won this contest 12 months ago and history may well repeat itself in the shape of CREBILLY, who enjoyed a positive season over hurdles last term and could have even more to offer now tackling fences. Wonderwall showed plenty when third on his chasing debut last year and, arriving on the back of wind surgery, he's put forward as the main danger, with Irish-raiders Elle Perfecta and Railway Hurricane another couple worth a mention.

  1. CREBILLY (IRE)
