Paul Nicholls does well at this venue and MOFASA (5) could prove the play in this competitive handicap chase. Not at his best when fifth at Newbury but remains just 3.3lb above when winning impressively at Huntingdon in November. Unbeaten in three fences outings the progressive MONTGOMERY (9) cannot be dismissed following his hardy success at Bangor last month. Newbury handicap chase runner-up DEEPER BLUE (7) must be considered in first-time cheekpieces. INCH HOUSE (3) could also feature adopting a tongue-tie.
