A small-field contest in which tactics could come to the fore. MAMBONUMBERFIVE (2) has been in rare form of late landing a hat-trick with a G2 Wayward Lad Novices Chase success at Kempton over 2m last time following a Newbury win making penultimate appearance. Keeps raising the bar and looks tough to beat. STEEL ALLY (1) arrives off an impressive G2 Noel Novices Chase success at Ascot tackling 2m3f during December. Retains the services of Dylan Johnston. Main danger. MIRABAD (3) performed below par at Windsor on latest outing. Certainly capable of better and makes for genuine appeal. Cannot be dismissed outright.
