By definition, most of these have seen better days but CHARINGWORTH has been holding his own in decent company and won at Cheltenham in November. Last month's Ascot winner Rebel Rebellion and Chance Du Roy will probably be back at Aintree in April and both are expected to be prominent here while Relax is only a couple of pounds higher than when scoring at Sandown around this time last year. Golden Chieftain is another with every chance on today's terms and Kasbadali is lightly-raced for his age and was sent off favourite at Sandown in December, though was well beaten. Creevytennant is probably best of the rest as Burton Port and Wayward Prince are definitely lights of former days and Soll may need this.
