Colin Tizzard sent Sizing Granite to win this in 2017 and he's only 1lb higher despite a very good run in an Ayr Listed contest last time. O O Seven represents Nicky Henderson and he's been tackling strong company since scoring at Doncaster in December. War Sound has competed at Grade 3 level exclusively since a comfortable victory at Aintree in November and takes a drop in class, though this can stay at home through CLASS CONTI. It's almost exactly a year since he made a spectacular debut for Willie Mullins at Tramore but he'll be ready for this and any more rain would aid his cause. Jett has been handed a 9lb penalty for last week's Grade 2 victory at Fairyhouse but Ben Dundee won here in November and ran well for a long way in the Close Brothers Handicap at Cheltenham.
