ISTIMRAAR (NAP) won a chase here last month on his first run for Dan Skelton. He is 13lb higher back over hurdles but still thrown in on past form. Stormingin has only placed once over timber so far but has only found one too good on the Flat at Lingfield and Brighton recently. Camaplu has been running well enough to get involved while Gin And Tonic won this last year and Golden Cannon is also a previous course winners so isn’t just in to make up the numbers.
