This can go to ALAPHILIPPE (1). He has advertised his good form in recent weeks. A repeat of his 15L win at Paxford 25 days ago gives him a major chance. He also benefits from experience at the track. MISTER COFFEY (3) is 0-20 over fences but this is his easiest chance for a win. He was only beaten 1L in a Cheltenham cross-country. That form is the strongest in this. Recent runs in better races are a concern. This is a step down in class. WHAT A GLANCE (4) is in calmer waters after pulling up in the Hunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. HIGH GAME ROYAL (2) ran respectably when a 17L third at Exeter 24 days ago. More is needed but he is not ruled out.
