The nature of this tight track could play to the strengths of DJELO (1). This progressive chaser took his form to a new level when defeating PROTEKTORAT (5) by 6L in the G2 Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon last month and can confirm form while the latter landed the G1 Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last season and commands respect on ratings alone. PIC D'ORHY (4) is talented and might find this course to his liking. Worth considering on the back of a ready triumph in the G2 1965 Chase at Ascot during November. Top-rated AHOY SENOR (6) pulled up in the G1 Betfair Chase at Haydock however did finish a good third in the G2 Old Roan Limited Handicap Chase at Aintree on reappearance. Cannot be ruled out.
