Golan Fortune was very highly tried last season after making a winning start at Ludlow. Knight In Dubai won twice in 2019 but missed the whole of last season and it’s no surprise that Harry Skelton has chosen stable companion CADZAND (NAP). The lightly-raced six-year-old is having a first run over fences but was always likely to make a better chaser than hurdler. Reserve Tank hasn’t raced over the larger obstacles since pulling up at the Cheltenham Festival last year but he is a Grade 2 winner and Le Cameleon has the scope to do better if he sorts out his jumping. Carys' Commodity is another interesting recruit to chasing while Kap Auteuil is on a four-timer so can’t be ignored.
