Horn Cape placed off a higher mark over hurdles here last month and Belvedere Blast won over timber here in January when completing a hat-trick. Fenna's Loss is also a winner here over the smaller obstacles but GENERAL OFFICER (NAP) will know what’s required on his chasing bow having already won over hurdles and between the flags – his yard has won this for the past two years. Chapel Green will handle the ground better than most and should also make a chaser.
