MONKEY KINGDOM hasn't raced since beating Kayf Moss, who runs earlier on the card, by 10 lengths at Warwick last May but he should be too good for these if he retains most of his ability. Dineur has an even longer absence to overcome but once had a rating of 137 over fences so can't be ignored. Henry Daly does well with his hunter chasers and Arctic Ben should be no exception while recent Wincanton third Tullyraine and Night Alliance are former course and distance winners who could run into a place.
