Yellow Tiger won a Carlisle maiden on the Flat last year and was second over 2m at Wolverhampton earlier this month, though doesn’t have a jumping pedigree. NANABELLE carries a double penalty after a couple of wins at Cagnes-sur-Mer but she could be anything and improvement can almost be guaranteed now she’s with Nicky Henderson. Cawthorne Lad is very consistent and will be hard to keep out of the frame again but Rikoboy may be ready for a step up in trip.
