Milansbar developed into a decent stayer last year and Beg To Differ still has time on his side. Capard King is on a decent mark at present and stablemate Spookydooky would also have claims on his best form. Colin Tizzard and Kerry Lee are other trainers doubly represented with Fergal Mael Duin looking the pick of the former's duo. Mountainous won the Welsh National here in 2013 but has a first preference at Sandown today while One For The Boss was in good form in the summer but this trip is an unknown. RUBEN COTTER (NAP) runs in this rather than the Grand Sefton at Aintree and can take advantage of the unseasonably good ground to get back to winning ways as he goes well fresh and gets on well with Harry Cobden. Berea Boru did well last season but may need a run of two to get back up to speed. Horatio Hornblower may be best of the rest.
