All four bring potential in an intriguing contest. MON CHAMPION (4) can boast the most experience having been sent chasing in France last season. Finally got off the mark at Hereford when returning to a softer surface. Solid contender. EPIC WEST (3) claimed victories in his first two hurdle outings and translated his form to the larger obstacles when narrowly beaten most recently. Likely to go well. LARGY BELTER (1) might not be the most straightforward and must enhance his jumping however did meet stiff opposition lately and is considered. MILAN TINO (2) landed a chase at Ludlow on penultimate start. Could reach the frame tackling his preferred trip.
