Verdict

Course winner BRAVE KINGDOM figures off a handy mark and signalled a return to form at Taunton last month. He can land the spoils. Eldorado Allen rarely runs a bad race in these events and could provide the chief threat, whilst market support for Capodanno on his debut for Neil Mulholland may prove significant.

4	Enhanced his excellent first-time-out record when making all at Cheltenham (20.2f) in November and ran respectably both starts since, latest when fourth at Windsor (22.2f, soft) 41 days ago. Returns to veterans company now and looks sure to make another bold bid. 2nd Pick 4 Eldorado Allen (Fr) Jockey: Brendan Powell Trainer: Joe Tizzard J: Brendan Powell T: Joe Tizzard	100	-	-	-	10%

1	Very smart at best for Willie Mullins, last success coming in Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham in early 2024. Rather in and out since but posted respectable third at Fairyhouse when last seen 12 months ago and needs monitoring in market on debut for new yard. 3rd Pick 1 Capodanno (Fr) Jockey: Jonjo O'neill Jr. Trainer: Neil Mulholland J: Jonjo O'neill Jr. T: Neil Mulholland	98	-	-	-	5%
