Verdict

Preference is for SIR CARNEGIE, who made only his third start over fences a winning one at Newcastle last month before scoring again at Kelso. He can go on to land the hat-trick in his current form, though Gata Ban isn't taken lightly having made an encouraging chasing debut, while last-time-out winner Lelant remains on a handy mark.

1	Had a long absence prior to last season, but proved as good as ever over hurdles when winning at Hereford in February.

4	Having dropped a long way in the weights, justified support when finally getting off the mark in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good to firm) 6 weeks ago, well on top finish.
