FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BACHASSON returns following 749 days off, aged 12, but it is encouraging connections have persevered. A smart 15-time winner who is ideally suited by today's conditions, he might retain enough class to win this race, where reliable form is thin. Batcio returns from 347 days off and while a year younger and having finished second in the Topham Chase in April, would prefer better ground and is likely to have that Aintree race as an upcoming target. Galmoy Hurdle-third My Design is greatly helped by being race-fit but steps up markedly in grade from a course and distance success on fences debut. Bois De Clamart also has recent form and is ideally suited by testing ground and middle distances but might bump into one or two too strong. Top weight Grand Paradis' chasing career has been blighted by poor jumping while Spyglass Hill needs to return to form.
