Low Sun, the 2018 Cesarewitch winner, took a while to warm up on his chasing debut here last weekend but stayed on strongly and looks certain to get involved. Demain Des L'Aube has more experience over fences than these rivals and has produced a couple of decent efforts but a chance is taken on CERBERUS, who makes his chasing debut. A Grade 3 winner over timber and placed at the highest level as a novice, he's still only a five-year-old and has the scope to make a fine chaser. Blackhillsofdakota, a dual hurdles winner, is another likely to do better after a couple of fair runs over fences.
