Reveillez can return with a bang over Chilling Place, Knowhere and Medison to name but three. Reveillez was extremely well-backed when landing his biggest success in his short career over fences at Cheltenham in March, and by all accounts the Jewson winner has been impressing in homework. Obviously he will find life tougher this term, but he has the scope to defy his new mark and is taken to come out on top on his return. Chilling Place was very unlucky in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter when the loose Racing Demon took him out four out, otherwise he would surely have given Impek a scare. Taken out of the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham because of the ground, the recent rain is a negative. Knowhere was a faller in the Paddy Power, but if over that spill, this progressive sort can make his presence felt along with former Imperial Cup winner Medison who caught the eye behind Rubberdubber on his recent return to action at Cheltenham. This longer trip will suit, and off his light weight he must not be discounted. An interesting contest can go to Reveillez.
