Sandy Brook makes his chasing debut representing last year’s winning trainer though hasn’t raced since 2021. But BOLINTLEA (NAP) was still in contention at the last fence at Worcester before running out of steam in the closing stages and she gets the vote with that good effort under her belt. Dysania finished in front of Bobalot when scoring over track and trip and is 6lb higher while recent Stratford winner Guguss Collonges arrives in good form having gone close again at Fakenham.
