There hasn’t been a winning favourite in this since 2018 but expected market leader JINGKO BLUE (1) could see that stat change having looked good making it two from two with fences in the G2 Hampton Court Novices Chase at Windsor last month. Will take plenty of beating under a penalty. Runner-up that day LOWRY’S BAR (3) has been progressive tackling fences and rates the main danger once more on these revised terms. PEAKY BOY (4) went well both his chase starts at Chepstow and could yet have more to offer. THE CHANGING MAN (5) is next best.
