Verdict

Grouse Lodge ended last season with victory in a novices' handicap at Cheltenham. He should go on to better things this term and the same can be said of Denali Highway. The latter showed progressive form to land a hat-trick last season and is 7lb higher on his return. NO PLANNING has the more recent form with a close-up third to Grandads Horse over a shorter trip here on his reappearance. That could give Sue Smith's chaser the edge and he gets the nod. Scotswell also has a recent run under his belt when second at Ayr and he's preferred to Chac Du Cadran.
