A few of these have something to prove and narrowing the field down is not too difficult a task. Backsheesh has some useful form to his name and will be dangerous to dismiss if there is support for him on course. However, he does have a long absence to overcome over regulation fences and he may be best watched today. Coole Abbey, on the other hand, comes into the race with his confidence buoyed after a spring-heeled effort in defeating Last Option over course and distance earlier in the month. He is going to take all the beating today. Royal Snoopy, who is a solid jumper on his day, receives a handy 7lb from his rivals at the top of the weights on this return to action and is taken to give Coole Abbey the most to do. Divet Hill is also a tough customer and will be the one to exploit any mishaps today.
