The market could prove a useful guide with some classy chasers making their seasonal reappearance. CONFLATED (4) was disappointing in this twelve months ago. Running well in G1 chases towards the end of the season and handles decent ground. MINELLA INDO (3) won this last year. Respect on first outing since finishing third in the G3 Aintree Grand National (4m3f) last April. Former G1 King George hero HEWICK (1) must be treated with respect after finishing second in a G1 hurdle at Auteuil five months ago. VISIONARIAN (2) brings the benefit of a recent run and cannot be ignored following a comfortable success attempting the G2 Gowran Park Champion Chase.
