Previous course winner O'CONNELL (2) remains lightly raced as a staying chaser. Produced a race full of promise on his return to action over 3m2f at Carlisle last month. These more testing conditions will suit and better for the outing can return to winning ways. TANGANYIKA (1) needs to be included having also raced well when fifth in a decent handicap chase returning to action at Cheltenham during November. It's tough to ignore claims of the progressive ASK BREWSTER (3) who arrives on a four-timer following his reappearance win attempting a 2m7 1/2f handicap chase at Chepstow in October. INVINCIBLE NAO (5) is another who could be in the mix.
