NORTHERN POET (2) returned from eight months off to finish a good second behind a progressive mare in this grade over course and distance during December. Trained by Nick Gifford and two from six at this venue. Holds leading claims off the same rating. INVINCIBLE NAO (3) finished runner-up to an in-form chaser at Leicester last time. Respect down in standard. VISION DE MAINE (5) was progressing nicely over fences before being pulled-up at Wincanton. Might bounce back with first-time cheekpieces fitted. FANTASTIKAS (1) completes the shortlist.
