Verdict
Richard's Sundance is on a very handy mark at present but was an early faller at Cheltenham last time and Victor Dartnall also saddles top weight Nicto De Beauchene. Zarrafakt was second on his reappearance at Newbury but Knighton Combe and Aldertune have a bit to prove at present and Diamond Brook has disappointed so far this winter. The Sawyer's preferred engagement is at Haydock but in-form Bob Buckler still has a viable candidate in DOUBLE DIZZY. The 11-year-old landed the Sussex National at Plumpton earlier this month in a canter and appears to retain plenty of enthusiasm. This is more competitive but there's no reason to suggest he won't be in the firing-line again.
