Previous course and distance winner THE DOYEN CHIEF (3) lost little in defeat when a creditable fifth attempting a very competitive handicap chase at Cheltenham last month. Alan King's nine-year-old will find this easier and looks ready make a bold bid off a 2lb lower mark on ground that will suit. WELCOM TO CARTRIES (4) showed a willing attitude to prevail by a head over fences at Sandown (3m) last time out and a 4lb rise in the weights should not prevent a big effort once more. SOUL ICON (1) was in the mix when unseating three-out tackling a prestigious handicap chase at Wincanton in November and he cannot be dismissed revisiting the venue. YOUR DARLING (2) warrants a market check.
