Verdict

KADASTRAL doesn't have Sober Glory to contend with on this occasion, and he can land a second hurdles success. It's unlikely we've seen the best of Seaniecon, who looks the standout danger.

1	Physically imposing type who beat Talk The Talk when winning valuable bumper last season. Has twice chased home subsequent Supreme runner-up Sober Glory over hurdles (readily landed the odds at Newbury in between) and this looks a good opportunity to resume winning ways. 1st Pick 1 Kadastral (Fr) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	34%	2/1

2	Irish point winner went close on Rules debut at Ludlow before making heavy weather of landing the odds at Hereford (3m1f) last month. Remains with potential, though drop back in trip perhaps not ideal given he looks all about stamina. 2nd Pick 2 Seaniecon (Ire) Jockey: Jonjo O'neill Jr. Trainer: Jonjo & A.J.

5	Point runner-up who filled same position first two starts under Rules, though hasn't progressed since, his physique/style of racing suggests he's very much a chaser in the making. 3rd Pick 5 Dig Deep (Ire) Jockey: Ben Jones Trainer: Ben Pauling J: Ben Jones T: Ben Pauling	85	-	-	-	15%	6/1

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
