Formscan - The O'Neill stable won this in 2022 and have chances again here with Imperial Bede, who has only taken one race over fences but ran well in defeat on numerous occasions. He can go well on his return off this mark, but SOUTHOFTHEBORDER is preferred. Third in a better race at Ascot last month, he races off 2lb lower here and could give Henrietta Knight another winner. Stratagem is also of interest with the going in his favour on his second start for Mickey Bowen.
