Race preview
Brulure Noire made the perfect start to his chasing career when winning here in November and, with a 3lb rise looking lenient, the six-year-old may have more to offer now back up in distance. That said, preference is for THE BOAT, who won well at Leicester last month despite jumping out to his left. The Evan Williams-trained gelding could be ahead of his revised mark and can complete the double. Destin D'Ajonc is lurking on a dangerous rating and is dangerous to rule out.
