Lots Of Memories spent most of last winter over fences where his future lies though he's useful over timber and a recent run on the Flat will have put him straight for this. PERFECT GENTLEMAN has also been chasing at a very high level and should win some good races this season. The soft ground will aid his stamina and he's taken to get back on the winning trail. Waaheb's last two runs have been over the bigger obstacle but he was previously in very good form on the Flat and over hurdles so he has to be a major player. Your Busy has a lot of weight to concede and the chaser As De Pique has only run once over hurdles.
