Formscan - Nicky Henderson won this race with the classy Iberico Lord last year and has a major chance of notching back-to-back wins with JERIKO DU REPONET. Events conspired against the six-year-old on his chasing debut at Sandown last November but his hurdles form sets a high standard and he's worth another try over fences. The rest are closely matched on official ratings but perhaps Jax Junior and Aurigny Mill are the dangers.
