Kayf Aramis has won this three times, the latest in 2009, and he's not finished yet as he's been in reasonable form over timber. Dark Ranger scored last year and arrives in good form though he's a massive 17lb higher this time around but Hollins, who was successful in 2010, is 9lb higher and was beaten a long way last year. Malcolm Jefferson wouldn't have wanted the last jumps season to end as CAPE TRIBULATION finished with a flourish, scoring at Cheltenham and Aintree. The last time he ran on the Flat was from a mark of 85 and he's 5lb lower here and he'll think he's been let loose after carrying two stone more at Aintree. Bruslini has been in good form over fences while Cloudy Spirit won over this trip at Pontefract last month. Lifetime has been going well in soft ground and wouldn't want it to dry out nor would Secret Tune and Lady Amakhala, who battled out a finish over slightly shorter at Doncaster.
