PROTEKTORAT (2) is clearly top-rated and fancied to land this. Won the G1 Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham in March and may strip fitter for comeback last month. GINNY'S DESTINY (5) was a high-class novice chaser tackling the trip last term. Feared if back to his best. Underwhelmed in latest. DJELO (3) ran well to place second in the G2 Haldon Gold Cup Limited Handicap chase at Exeter on comeback. Do not underestimate. The G1-winning novice chaser NICKLE BACK (4) might do well if securing a good rhythm in front.
