Popaway won this 12 months ago but was a couple of lengths behind Realt Ag Leimt at Cheltenham last month is a race in which neither really featured. Roby De Cimbre was fourth here last month before finishing second at Fakenham but Jimbill has his first run in a hunter chase following a lengthy absence and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains. Qrackers has been pulled up in both starts under Rules this year so we'll stick with DROM. Christine Drury's 12-year-old beat a decent sort in Nowurhurlin at Musselburgh in February and has had a run between the flags since.
