Los Nadis has been a grand servant to connections and overturned earlier running with Solway Sam over this course and distance last time. He also beat Ryton Runner and is still fairly treated on his old form but you would expect CARLANSTOWN (NAP) to improve for his run over 2m5f here last month and the step up in trip as he won a point-to-point in Ireland in the spring over 3m. Gordon Elliott's raider looks the one to beat as Definite Appeal is probably better over fences.
