Formscan - Dan Skelton has excelled in this event and sends out Supremely West with a decent chance of becoming his yard's fourth winner since 2019. The eight-year-old appreciated the return to 3m when he emerged as the ready winner of Pertemps at Cheltenham and assuming this doesn't come too soon, he can go close. However, a 9lb rise does require more and with that in mind, a chance is taken on QUANTUM QUEST making the most of a fair chance on these terms. The Henry De Bromhead-trained six-year-old stays well, is effective on the ground and has a 5lb pull with the Skelton horse from the last time they met. The class-dropping Fortune Timmy, the in-form Hold The Serve and Absolutely Doyen are others for the shortlist.
