DELL ORO ran very well in the race won by Deise Des Bieffes at Cheltenham last week. This is a much weaker contest and Gary Moore’s five-year-old is clearly suited by good ground so looks the one to beat. Kings Ryde is superbly bred but disappointed in the autumn after winning at Southwell. Who's My Jockey failed to land the odds at Exeter in December and is also returning from a break while winning pointer March Is On is making his debut under Rules. It’s more than 12 months since Mister Serious made a belated debut over hurdles and he was beaten in a three-runner race.
