Verdict
Not That Fuisse was beaten a neck in a Listed handicap at Ayr In April, form that would normally be good enough for this, but he reportedly had an irregular heartbeat when pulling up at Chepstow in October so maybe best watched. He's rated a couple of pounds higher than ANOTHER VENTURE though the latter, a course and distance winner just over a year ago, returned after a long break with a fair run at Cheltenham in November and can make a winning debut in this sphere. The 2019 Grand Sefton winner Hogan's Height has had three of his last four starts at Aintree, including in the National where he managed to get round, but Ozzy Thomas was well beaten between the flags in November and Envious Editor has been running poorly in points.
