Verdict
Rumbury Grey won this in 2013 but age seems to have caught up with Steve Flook's veteran. Oscar Delta is getting any younger either while Stone was tailed off when fourth in the 2014 renewal. Templebraden arrives off the back of a victory at Maisemore Park and has a better chance than most while Sir Ollar has been heading in the right directions and should be thereabouts if handling these stiffer fences – the booking of Will Biddick will help him there. COUSIN PETE also makes his debut under Rules having won his last four between the flags. Elizabeth Brown's eight-year-old can pass his biggest test to date with flying colours.
