Grandioso won a Grade 2 at Kempton in 2013 when trained by Paul Nicholls and it will be interesting to see if Steve Flook has managed to nurse him back to full health. Monkey Kingdom was favourite for his hunter chase debut at Ffos Las but only managed third. He has an experienced amateur on board, however, so is respected while Shoreacres is the type to go well fresh and will almost certainly be out of trouble at the front end. Invisible Man is another with claims on past form but BOUND FOR GLORY wasn't disgraced in a recent run between the flags at Cottenham and could be the pick on his fifth in last year's Fox Hunters' Chase at Aintree.
