      Verdict

      Attaglance was much-improved over hurdles last season but his chase debut at Carlisle ended up a damp squib as he was pulled up having never travelled well. The heavy ground may well have been to blame and he could a different proposition now however. Molotof looks the pick of the three previous chase winners having won easily over 2m at Taunton. Runner-up Changing Times has won twice since but this will be his first try over 3m and Cloudy Too and So Fine are both proven stayers, as is ROCKY CREEK. His second to Harry Topper at Exeter now looks very decent novice form and the fact that he gets 7lb from all but one of his rivals could swing things his way this afternoon.
