Cases can be made for most of these, as there is very little between the field on the official BHB figures for the race. However, it may be worth giving another chance to Lambe De LA See, who is given the benefit of the doubt after her mishap at the final fence last time and represents good value to bounce back in this company. The in-form Game On is at the top of his game at present and has to be given plenty of respect today, while Figaro Du Rocher is feared most out of the remainder but will find this tougher than the seller he won last November. The jury is out on him until he shows a little more. Thisisyourlife, on the other hand, is going the right way and is worth monitoring for a similar contest next time. However, Lambe De LA See should be ideally suited by the track today and Andrew Tinkler will no doubt be under orders to hold her together if she has amassed a clear advantage by the time they bear down on the last obstacle this time around.
