Cyclop and Fortescue are likely to run in the 1.37 Chepstow and Rapper is also entered in that contest. Truckers Lodge is a thorough stayer who handles soft going but Boldmere will have stamina to prove. CERTAINLY RED (NAP) has handled these tricky fences well in the past and there was plenty to like about his reappearance at Wincanton. He holds Broken Halo on the form book so gets a tentative vote ahead of Fontaine Collonges, who lost his way in the spring, and the frustrating Beauport.
Beauport (IRE) 9-2fav (11-2) Off the pace in last trio, never a factor, 5th of 11, 10 1/2l behind Victtorino (10-12) at Ascot 3m hcp (1) sft in Nov.
Certainly Red 8-1 (10-10) Chased leaders on inside, pushed along before 5 out, soon outpaced, rallied into remote 4th approaching 2 out, 4th of 11, 18 1/4l behind Blackjack Magic (10-2) at Wincanton 3m 1f hcp (1) gs in Nov.
Truckers Lodge (IRE) 18-1 (11-9) Brought down 3rd, at Cheltenham 3m 3f hcp (1) sft in Nov.
Boldmere 14-1 (11-8) Midfield when badly hampered by faller 10th, soon pulled up, at Aintree 3m 1f hcp (2) gs in Oct.
Broken Halo 10-1 (10-3) Pulled hard, jumped slowly 15th, always towards rear, 12th of 16, dist behind Kitty's Light (10-8) at Sandown 3m 5f hcp (1) gs in Apr.
