Question marks against all six runners here but if Fighting Chance stays on all fours he ought to be good enough to land the prize. Alam, whose trainer is on a high following a big-race double at the weekend, and Digital Media, representing the yard that has won the last two renewals of this race, can fill the places.

Buailteoir didn't have the best of completion records in Ireland but produced fair efforts in three of his four starts since joining his present yard, including when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m 6f) in June. In with a shout.

Fighting Chance has failed to complete in three of his five starts over fences but was still in the lead when unseating his rider three out at Southwell (2m 6f) when last seen in May. Should go close if jumping fluently.

Alam's overall profile is unconvincing and he is hardly a frequent winner but has had plenty of experience in this sphere (successful three times over fences). Claims if ready to roll following almost 11 months off.

Red Rattle's infrequent appearances indicate that he's not been the easiest to train and would need to improve beyond recognition now switched to fences to take this.

The Arsonist was a bit disappointing over hurdles given what he did in bumpers, and he didn't leave the impression that he would do much better in this sphere judged on his debut over course and distance last month.

Digital Media is now on his third trainer of 2009. He has won a chase but was most disappointing when tailed off at Uttoxeter last time, having gone close at Newton Abbot previously. Not the most straightforward.
