DYNASTE has not won since landing the Ryanair at Cheltenham in 2014 but has been competing in Graded races subsequently. He may still have too much class for these if back to his best including Cloudy Too, who won over hurdles last month and won the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock back in January. Gas Line Boy was a well beaten third in the Kerry National at Listowel in September and Aerial won a handicap at Fontwell three weeks ago. Jet Master continued his good form with a win at Newcastle last month but the remainder may struggle in what looks a hot veterans contest.
