FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ANIBALE FLY was brought down at Aintree and was third in this race last year. Runner-up and third in two Gold Cups, he was being prepped over unsuitable distances for Aintree this season, prior to an unfortunate early exit, but if the 12 year old reproduces last year's form, should run well from 5lb lower. Plan Of Attack hasn't won since October 2019 but is a stayer who ran well in Cheltenham's Cross Country Race. Beaten bytwo high-class types, he comes here a fresh horse and has claims from his 134 rating. He beat Champagne Platinum in the 2020 Kim Muir Chase but Champagne Platinum faces a quick turnaround following a good seventh-placing in the Irish National. Agusta Gold was second in a National Trial in 2020 and stays well but has top weight and fell last time. Glenloe has only ever managed one win, in a 2016 maiden hurdle, and is runs in first-time blinkers. Regina Dracones and Peaches And Cream are both in form but step up in grade.
