Marky Bob won a couple of hunter chases here in 2012 but has only recorded one victory since and was pulled up on his latest outing. Larteta holds Carobello on his second in this last year and he is 3lb lower so must have some sort of chance even though he is still to win over fences. ALL BUT GREY's absence since May is a bit of a worry but he has generally been holding his own in better company and the weight allowance of his able rider can help him make a winning reappearance. Moveable Asset is preferred to Youm Jamil of the others.
