Top-weight nine-year-old MR VANGO (1) proved to be a staying specialist last year winning at Sandown twelve months ago before following up on deep ground at Haydock taking the 3m2f Peter Marsh Premier Handicap Chase and winning the 4m2f Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter. Leading contender returning. GABORIOT (13) went well tackling the national fences here last month when a strong 2L second contesting the 2f21yards Grand Sefton Handicap Chase. Rates highly. GALIA DES LITEAUX (8) ran with credit resuming fifth in a lower level 3m2f handicap chase at Carlisle. Might feature. BIOLUMINESCENCE (2) won a G2 while last start Listed French cross-country winner ROI MAGE (6) both look interesting.
