Teaatral will be a warm order here and can land his third win from four attempts over fences, even though he has a double penalty to carry. Formerly a high-class staying hurdler, he is getting the hang of chasing, even though he came to it late in the day and has yet to look a natural at it. Of the others, Bronhallow should get placed following his course and distance second last time, although he will need to jump better than he did then. Italian Clover is interesting given that he is a winning pointer, hails from a very good yard and Richard Johnson has been booked. However, overall, Teaatral is taken to score again.
