This looks tricky as one or two of these have been out of sorts so far this season. Sego Success, Generous Ransom, Baileys Concerto and Night In Milan are on that list but Forgotten Gold won at Wincanton in October, though jumping deficiencies returned at the same track last time. It's a while since Triolo D'Alene was in the winner's enclosure but he has the class to run well off top weight if fully wound-up. REAPING THE REWARD was second to Aachen here in February and the winner has recorded two wide-margin victories recently. While the lack of a recent run is a worry, Lucinda Russell's string are going well so her 11-year-old could be worth an interest off a decent mark. Straidnahanna was in front when falling three out at Haydock last month and could also feature if that hasn't affected confidence.
