Formscan  - Some admirable campaigners are drawn together for this veterans chase, with the likes of recent Kempton winner Le Ligerien and Go Steady, who was denied by just a neck over hurdles at Uttoxeter last month, rated as strong contenders based on their peak efforts over fences. However, LORD DU MESNIL ran a blinder when he was second in a class 2 handicap on the New course back in April, and he could be hard to beat if he replicates that level today. Storm Control is also considered.
