In depth
Verdict
Solatentif has been placed in three of his four chase starts and will have needed his run over timber at Aintree last month. Sumkindofking and San Satiro are both tackling fences for the first time but the former has won a point-to-point and the latter will have had plenty of schooling and a lack of a recent run is rarely a concern for one from his yard. BACH DE CLERMONT has been running in decent novice company over fences. He had every chance here in December until missing out the second-last and can open his account with a clear round. Monbeg Legend looks every inch a chaser and hails from a top yard so is much respected.
