Verdict
Al Co, Qulinton and Benbane Head filled the places behind I Have Dreamed in the Listed Summer Plate at Market Rasen last month. The former can come out top of that trio again while Gambo comes here off the back of a comfortable victory at Stratford and is 14lb better off than when only four lengths behind Al Co in a novice chase here in May. Lost Glory has an excellent strike rate and is just as effective over hurdles as fences. He's worth a try in this higher grade while Jim Culloty's Barel Of Laughs can't be ignored off a low weight and Moulin De La Croix will enjoy the ground. FAIR ALONG has a touch of class and was third in last year's Hennessy off a 7lb higher mark. He would take all the beating if anywhere near that form and has run well fresh in the past so gets the vote.
