Sound And Fury
Took chase record to 3-6 when holding on from a useful stayer at Carlisle (3m2f, good to soft) on reappearance; lost a shoe and bled from the nose when well beaten at Cheltenham (heavy) since; likely contender if the wheels stay on this time.

Mt Fugi Park
Second-season chaser; won at Carlisle (3m, good) in April but was well beaten over 3m6f next time and didn't run much of a race at Exeter last month after a break and wind surgery; bit to prove now, including stamina.

Ivane
Strong stayer who won the Durham National over 3m5f at Sedgefield in October (good; had slow-ground form in Ireland); only three ran when second at Plumpton and made mistakes when 12l behind the winner last time (3m3f); current mark could be an issue.

Red Delta
Triple point winner; first and second in two of his three handicap chases and was clear of the third when narrowly beaten at Doncaster (3m2f, soft) last time; should give his running and have some say.

You Some Girl
Four hurdle wins but was beaten 12l in that discipline last time; however, she won her only previous chase, in October in a three-runner beginners' event, and the return to fences is interesting; unproven beyond 3m1f.

Finn Lough
Two chase wins at about 3m but has finished runner-up over 3m2f; 3m6f was perhaps a stretch at Newcastle last time and he's not on a bad mark.

Copshill Lad
Up and down over hurdles but has made a good start over fences at Hereford (3m1f), winning off 2lb lower and then third behind an improver (successful since) one month ago; should be involved.

Ali Star Bert
Can struggle with consistency but he's won his last two, both over Southwell's extended 3m; however, this is a step up in class and he's 2lb badly in under a penalty.

The Big Breac
3-3 at Wetherby, where he won in November to earn this 8lb higher mark off which he ran well at Newcastle (3m6f, good to soft) since; jumps well for an inexperienced chaser and his yard won this last year.

Queens Wish
Ex-Skelton mare; running well for current yard and was having only her second run over fences when much the best at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in November; that was a big step up in trip under rules but she was strong late on; has further to go now and in a better race, but not discounted.
