River Bay (IRE) notched up a hat-trick of victories in 1999 and on that form should have a good chance again here. His fitness is the major doubt after a lengthy absence but Nicky Henderson should have his charge well prepared for today's race. Celtic Season has been in decent form recently and runs well at today's track, he looks the main danger. Filscot is another in consistent form and Native King should make a bold bid to defy top-weight.
