Lake View Lad has won three times around here including the Rehearsal Chase back in 2018. Domaine De L'Isle won on his only start here and was in excellent form last spring, scoring at Kempton and Cheltenham. Eclair Surf loves a thorough test of stamina as he showed when making most in a 3m5f Warwick Grade 3 handicap on heavy ground last month. He's up 10lb so this is more difficult while History Of Fashion was having only his fourth start over fences when scoring over 3m at Down Royal and may not have the experience for this. Danilo D'Airy completed a hat-trick last year before a poor run over hurdles at Lingfield last month but looks as though he may have been primed for this. Court Master is best on quicker ground but CHECKITOUT looked an out-and-out stayer when scoring over 3m3f at Fontwell and, with his stable in form, can take this nice prize.
