Formscan - Alaphilippe isn't the force of old, but he does arrive on the back of a brace of pointing wins (one dead-heat). That level of form entitles him to respect in this field, although if there is any horse deserving of a win over the larger obstacles, it is MISTER COFFEY. Nicky Henderson's charge failed to justify favouritism on his hunter chase debut at Newbury, but this isn't anywhere near as deep. What A Glance was a massive price when pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival, but he's no back number.
