Lightly-raced for his age, SPIRITOFCHARTWELL has recorded all three chase wins so far over these fences. He should make another bold bid in this company and is just preferred to Skint. The latter is upped 5lb after scoring at Huntingdon last month but remains on a winning mark. Echnaton fared well enough on his chasing bow when fourth at Market Rasen and can figure with any progress while Flashman was runner-up off a higher mark on fast ground here last summer.
