Dollar Value has had an outing on the Flat since scoring here in June and also won this contest last year. But ZARKAREVA returns to the smaller obstacles rated 135 over fences and Henry De Bromhead’s charge looks the one to beat on these terms if running anywhere near that mark. Wild Shot had been in fine form before struggling in a valuable hurdle race at Galway last week but has plenty to find at the weights with Soviet Pimpernel and Uhtred.
