DJELO (1) returned with an imperious performance to land the G2 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby last month and will have been targeted at a defence of this contest. Venetia Williams' contender could still have more to offer this season and gets the vote to win the prize for a second year running. The admirable SAINT SAM (3) is ever-so-consistent and makes his return to action for the first time since finishig a good second in the G2 Jack McInerney Memorial Fairyhouse Chase at Fairyhouse in April. Willie Mullins' charge might prove the main danger under Harry Cobden although HITMAN (2) has the ability go well following his win in the G2 Old Roan Chase at Aintree. BOOMBAWN (4) completes the shortlist.
