Verdict
Another ultra-competitive handicap but Capard King was always going well when beating three rivals at Southwell last time. Un Ace wasn't disgraced at the Cheltenham Festival last month but Sego Success may struggle to dominate this big field. No Planning has each-way claims and so does former Grand National winner Pineau De Re, who ran for a long way in the Scottish National two weeks ago. Mosspark finally got off the mark over fences at Sandown last month but is 8lb higher and stamina could be an issue with Newbury third Aerlite Supreme. AL CO hasn't won since landing the Scottish National in 2014 but Peter Bowen's 11-year-old is now 9lb lower and was a bit more like his old self last time at Aintree when only weakening approaching the last. He gets a tentative vote, though it would be no surprise to see the mare Kalane run well on her first try at 3m.
