HELNWEIN (2) found himself poorly positioned when fourth behind the front-running VINCENZO (3) tackling fences at Windsor 23 days ago. He followed home a handicapped progressive mare on chasing debut at Warwick during November and remains on a good mark. The latter-mentioned has since finished second to a nice performer in a handicap chase at Cheltenham. Consider off the same rating. Improving chaser DOYEN DU BAR (4) is now two from four with fences after a triumph in this class at Aintree on Boxing Day. Might provide a bold sight making hat-trick bid. INEDIT STAR (1) completes the shortlist.
