Verdict

LAKE CHAD has run well to reach the frame on his last 3 starts and might be able to resume winning ways. Chosen Diamond could pose a threat if able to build on his latest hurdle third. Connemara Shore unseated just as the race was taking shape on her chase debut but her subsequent third over hurdles shows she can be competitive from her mark. Philip Rothwell's Long Road also makes the shortlist.
