VERDICT: As is to be expected now the race is a handicap, this looks like a much more open renewal of the National Hunt Chase than in recent years, and while Ireland have dominated it of late, the prize could remain on British shores this time around. Resplendent Grey has done little wrong since going chasing this season, and although his run here last time over 2m4f was slightly disappointing, his efforts prior to that over 3m suggested this longer trip should suit. He's fancied to give the Olly Murphy team a first Festival winner. Haiti Couleurs is another who shaped like he'd relish this marathon trip when finishing third over 3m at Newbury last time and he looks set to go well for Rebecca Curtis. Things haven't quite gone to plan for Kyntara since going chasing, but he looks very well handicapped on the best of his hurdles form and he could be capable of playing a part in the finish.
