    Verdict

    A runner-up in the 2021 Champion Chase here, Nube Negra won this in good style last year though came up short again at the highest level subsequently. But EDWARDSTONE is a dual Grade 1 winner in novice company including the Arkle over track and trip back in March and Alan King’s charge may edge this on his reappearance. Sizing Pottsie landed a Grade 2 when trained in Ireland and has his second start for David Pipe having warmed-up for this with a facile victory over hurdles last month but it’s difficult to make a case for either Daly Tiger or Ganapathi.
