Sew On Target has travelled a long way for this and is only 2lb higher than when easily over a longer trip at the track just under a year ago. However, he’s barely picked up his feet this season whereas JUST CAMERON ran a solid race in defeat in the Castleford Chase here over Christmas. Grey Gold will have needed his run at Chepstow last month and should do better here but Makethedifference is likely to run at Warwick. Rathlin hasn’t shown enough lately to merit serious consideration but Raven's Tower won at Aintree in November and wasn’t beaten far at Newbury later.
