BEN BUIE (4) has been in excellent form of late winning handicap chases at Warwick and Stratford. The seven-time chase winner won his sole outing here and with proven form on this ground can complete a hat-trick by defying a further rise in weights. SCENE ONE (3) won a Warwick maiden hurdle back in April and looks a huge player on chasing debut. ICAQUE DE L'ISLE (2) remains a maiden under Rules. Needs to be included reappearing after some consistent chase form from around this mark last season. SHAW'S CROSS (6) completes the shortlist.
