Janiture would not have to improve much from her May run - only her second over fences - to feature here. Lorgnette did not jump fluently on her chasing debut and then ran over three miles last time, so it's a bot of a step back in trip. She is, however, the only course winner in the race. Inigo Jones has ability but was well beaten on his chasing debut. Dual Star has won twice over fences, the last from a mark of 82 (now 89). My Galliano ran well behind Impek at Huntingdon and has had two hurdle runs since. Overall, it looks like Tony McCoy can land another winner and Dual Star gets the TEAMtalk vote.
