Formscan - Having got the better of Strong Leader on his last two outings, IMPOSE TOI makes plenty of appeal. The eight-year-old has scored with something in hand in Newbury's Long Distance Hurdle and the Long Walk at Ascot and he's difficult to oppose. Ma Shantou has progressed through the handicap ranks this season and shouldn't be underestimated given that he has won on his last two visits to Cheltenham. Emma Lavelle's charge receives 6lb from the selection and is feared most.
