Formscan - Barton Snow and Its On The Line clash again after their epic encounter at the Cheltenham Festival where Joe O'Shea's charge came out on top, despite making a complete mess of the final fence. There has to be a slight concern whether the race has taken enough out of him and it may well be that the runner-up, who won this in 2024, is able to reverse the form. That said, the pair come up against a fresh rival in the shape of UNEXPECTED PARTY, who seems to have had this as a long-term aim since being switched to the hunter chase sphere. He has been a comfortable winner at Taunton and Haydock and the strong-travelling grey should be ideally suited to the demands of these fences. Others to consider include Golden Son, who is likely to benefit from dropping back in trip after finishing fourth at Cheltenham, Lets Go Champ and Java Point.
