SPECIAL RATE (3) completed a hat-trick during the summer tackling similar novice handicap chases. Bold bid anticipated despite obvious rise in weights. FILS DE ROI (5) resumes after a six month absence. Closed off previous preparation with a fifth in a Listed handicap hurdle at Auteuil. Makes debut for a new yard maintaining a leading chance. CERENDIPITY (2) holds each way claims on seasonal reappearance. Some good form against tougher competition prior. UPAGAINSTIT (7) fell when last seen at Haydock Park. Place on return from summer break.
