Verdict
Anthony Honeyball won this last year with a horse returning from an absence and ACEY MILAN is weighted to go close on his reappearance. No Getaway also has a chance on these terms on his return to action while Envoye Special won one of these contests at Cheltenham last April, though over a shorter trip. Drop Flight was a well-beaten third at Taunton on his first start since 2021 but will be sharper today.
