Having impressively won the Mildmay Novices Chase here last year GERRI COLOMBE (5) only found a dual G1 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner too strong last month. Trained by Gordon Elliott and may deservedly return to winning ways with conditions suiting. SHISHKIN (6) won this twelve months ago. Despite a muddling campaign this season commands respect having looked good securing victory when attempting the G2 Denman Chase at Newbury in February. CORBETTS CROSS (3) impressed tackling the G2 National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Firmly in the mix revisiting open company. BRAVEMANSGAME (2) cannot be ruled out if at his very best.
