Formscan - Nicky Henderson is no stranger to running a top-class novice in this contest as a preparation for the Cheltenham Festival, with Sprinter Sacre (2012) and Altior (2017) both hugely impressive before landing the Arkle, and LULAMBA bids to follow his illustrious stablemates. The five-year-old made the perfect start to life over fences at Exeter before underlining his class in the Henry VIII at Sandown and the sky appears to be the limit. Saint Segal has looked a reformed character in the past 12 months, with Thistle Ask being the only horse to beat him on his last five starts. Master Chewy won this prize last year and sports a first-time visor, but he does face a stiff enough task giving 5lb to the selection and 6lb to the remainder.
