Verdict

LUCKY LUGGER gained reward for his consistency when scoring at Uttoxeter earlier this month and looks the safest option in a tricky-looking contest. Diamond Dice rather blotted his copybook at Carlisle last time but will be dangerous if putting his best foot forward.

Veteran chaser who made final start for Lucinda Russell a winning one at Wetherby 15 months ago. Largely disappointed for current yard since but mark continues to tumble as a result.

Verdict
Dual winner at this sort of trip last term who arrives on back of creditable third of 7 in handicap chase (8/1) at Exeter (17.5f, heavy) last month. Now 4 lb below last winning mark so warrants respect.

Verdict
Hurdles winner who found improvement when runner-up on chase debut at Wincanton (20.2f) in January. Just 1 lb higher now but has since unseated rider at Carlisle, after whipping round at the start, so clearly comes with some risks attached.

Verdict
Off the mark at sixth time of asking over fences when easily taking 5-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (16f, heavy) 17 days ago. 5 lb higher now but holds strong claims nonetheless.
