Race preview
Medalla De Oro has twice found just the one too strong at Southwell since returning to jumping, including when sent off at 2/7 last time. His mark of 125 sets a good standard, but a chance is still taken on the fitness of CHESS PLAYER. The Ben Pauling-trained five-year-old was well fancied for a bumper at the 2019 Scottish National fixture that often throws up a good one, and his second placing suggested that he has a bright future. A Distant Place was successful at the third attempt between the flags, and Cherry Cola isn't out of it either.
