Verdict
WAKANDA carries an 8lb penalty for winning a Grade 2 chase at Haydock last month but remains clear of today's rivals at the weights. Sue Smith's charge should have no trouble taking care of these as Sealous Scout was beaten out of sight when last of three at Ayr recently. Voyage A New York has also shown little over fences so far while though Moyode Wood won at Hexham in November he has failed to figure since. Revocation has won a maiden hurdle but makes his chasing debut here after a lengthy absence.
