Verdict

Having made a good impression when winning at Exeter last month on his second chase start, BLENKINSOP (nap) is taken to defy a 5lb rise and follow up. This course should be a good fit for the front-running Kelce, who has a progressive profile and can be forgiven his last run at Cheltenham due to the heavy ground, and he is feared most. Last year's winner Fortunate Man lacks a recent outing but returns to action with his stable in good form.[Ben Hutton]
