This should come down to the two previous chase winners and the TEAMtalk preference goes to Janiture who scored easily last time at Taunton, will be suited by this trip and going, and comes from an in-form stable. La Landiere will have her supporters following two facile victories but whether he can concede weight to his rival remains to be seen. However her trainer regards her highly and any drying of the ground will suit. The rest make their chase debuts here with Jeruflo having the best hurdle form. Flora Princess hails from a yard who does well with their chasers at this course so is obviously respected.
