Regal Flow won an amateurs' race at Cheltenham last month but is upped 7lb for his trouble. Big Occasion was last seen at the track finishing second in the 2013 Scottish National. David Pipe will likely have him ready for action and SHAMMICK BOY has made a winning reappearance in the past. The latter rattled up a hat trick over hurdles last season and can race off a lower mark back over the larger obstacles. Pete The Feat won over these fences off today's mark in 2012 but Express Du Berlais remains 8lb higher than his course win back in May. Golden Chieftain, Wiesentraum and Reblis are all others with a shout off their current marks.
