This looks wide open. Ingleby Mackenzie could be interesting as he’s placed on his last two visits here and the champion is doing the steering today. NOT THE CHABLIS’ only chase win so far came over these fences and he’s a pound lower today and sure to strip fitter for a run at Ayr where he wasn’t far behind Sputnik and Get With It. Dr Shirocco is on a hat-trick and Deep Charm won by five lengths at Sedgefield last month. Kelso runner-up So They Say was lightly raced over hurdles and chasing should be his game.
