Formscan - Top Ville Ben was last seen pulling up in the Grand National at Aintree but previously recorded a creditable second in a Grade 2 hurdle at Haydock. He can bounce back on his return to action but has to carry top weight for this contest, so it is easier to side with the relatively unexposed STELLAR MAGIC. He has run well fresh in the past and is capable of delivering once more. Royal Pretender and Emitom also warrant a mention.
