A Cheltenham Gold Cup and King George winner, the once high-class chaser LONG RUN has his first start since 2014. But he's still officially rated 149 and won't have to run anywhere near that mark to make a winning return in this company. Robbie has a handicap mark clear of the remainder and will be sharper for a recent comeback third at Leicester while Durban Gold won one of these events at Kelso last month and is preferred to Ockey De Neulliac and recent point-to-point winner Dica.
