Formscan - There is little to choose between SNIPE and King Roly, but Dan Skelton's nine-year-old could have the edge if this boils down to a test of resilience. That said, King Roly is a C&D winner and stepping back up in trip could be a good move. Dartan is still unexposed over fences and may be a slightly sharper alternative than the hat-trick seeking Badbury Rings, who resumes after a 587-day absence.
