In depth
Formwatch
Alta clearly has the ability to win this but will need to improve her jumping; however, she hails from a strong yard and there are question marks over the majority of the other runners. The main danger looks to be Tall Story who won on her Chase debut last time. The race looks to be between these two and the remainder can be readily passed over.
