A small field here and it is very difficult to oppose the Cheltenham winner Grey Dawning who showed a terrific attitude to triumph last month at Prestbury Park. There is not much to oppose him here and the testing conditions shouldn't prove an issue. He's a very progressive chaser and a potential Gold Cup horse.
Shiskin missed Cheltenham after the issues in the Henderson yard but horses coming here fresh tend to have a very good record. We all know how good he is on his day. He was an impressive winner here last year, has shown plenty on heavy ground and at the prices he looks to add some value.
He brings plenty of decent form here and, although he's 13 now, has still shown plenty of desire with his recent efforts. Has shown a liking for the big fences and we know he has stamina in abundance as well as a liking for these testing conditions, so should be right in the mix.
Whiskeyweath is an improving type who has won his last two starts, both on heavy ground. Has been hiked up in the weights but it looks justified and he should have plenty of scope for further improvement here if he travels well. Could go off much shorter on the day.
