Peggies Venture is interesting making her chasing debut. She’s a past winner here and races off the same mark as when successful over hurdles at Kempton in the spring. Malangen got off the mark over fences at Bangor at the fourth time of asking while Monty's Award and Mr Mcguiness have both had wind surgery since last seen. REGULATION is probably a little exposed but has won twice for Bryony Frost and will probably run his race again. Carolines Charm jumped well at Fontwell but an opening mark of 117 looks very harsh.
