Rathpatrick is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having won a handicap in January and though he's now 10lb higher he ran an excellent race in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. Laid Back Luke has been making good progress and made all for an easy maiden victory at Clonmel though that was over 2m3f and he's never been this far. Sykes has been a beaten favourite in four of his last five starts and would appear to need testing ground and though fellow UK raider Net Work Rouge is certain to stay the trip he was beaten a long way at Hexham last time. Another raider, Say My Name, was also well beaten when runner-up at Exeter but At Fishers Cross ran quite well in a Grade 3 handicap at Aintree and is by no means out of this. Nicky Henderson's Cup Final attracted support at Cheltenham but was having only his second start since 2014 and was always trailing. Sonny B had every chance when unseating his rider at the last on his hat-trick attempt while any rain would aid the cause of O Ceallaigh, an impressive winner at Gowran. CASSELLS ROCK (NAP) hasn't run over hurdles since scoring over two miles at Gowran in August but he's a genuine stayer on the Flat and looks to have been laid out for this after his narrow defeat at this meeting a year ago so gets the vote.
