Formscan - Last year's winner King Turgeon has to be noted, but his two disappointing efforts to finish last season and a subsequent wind operation are concerns. As a result, the vote goes to EXCELLO, who was still in with a chance when making a bad mistake two out in the Topham over C&D in April. While competitive, this is not as strong as that race was and Nicky Henderson's six-year-old merits plenty of respect off a 2lb lower mark. White Rhino needs a career best, but the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye and dropping back in trip should help him. The shortlist is completed by Gaboriot, Johnnywho and Jet Plane.
