Certain Flight won at Huntingdon in February and, though his winning run came to an end in the Foxhunters' Chase at Cheltenham, he has every chance of getting back on track here. Double Bank unseated his rider in that Cheltenham contest but has finished second between the flags since while Chosen Milan doesn't have a bad record under Rules, despite still chasing a first victory, and also has a chance. SANGFROID lost his way under Rules last year but easily won a point-to-point last month and obviously retains plenty of ability. The grey could be a bit of value.
