In depth
Verdict
Mary Reveley's recent Southwell runner-up Business Class heads the weights for this handicap chase and should be better suited by the longer trip here. Peter Bowen's Dragon King has solid claims if the rains stay away, while Talathath should not be discounted after a lengthy lay-off. More interesting though is Piccadilly, who won over hurdles at Southwell last month and now returns to the larger obstacles.
