In depth

Verdict

Samon was impressive on his chasing debut eight days ago and is clearly the one to beat in this race. Haafel is a course winner but is making his chasing debut. King Of The Naul is a long-term absentee and comes here from the hunting fields. The Staggery Boy has a bit to find on his chasing form and Lost The Plot could give the favourite most to do. She too makes his chasing debut but gets a useful 12lbs from Samon.
