The likes of Hang In There, Jacamar and Mackenberg are better known as chasers nowadays. SOARING GLORY (NAP) had one run over fences last season but didn’t enjoy the experience. He is very well treated over the smaller obstacles at present and his stable is in the midst of a purple patch. Inca Prince is the likely pace angle but this trip may prove beyond him so Boombawn looks the danger as he wasn’t beaten far trying this trip at Cheltenham and is weighted to reverse Huntingdon running last season with Impulsive One.
