Race preview
All of these have claims, but the vote goes to NO QUESTIONS ASKED. The seven-year-old showed plenty of ability over hurdles, including when second in the Sidney Banks at Huntingdon in February, and it would be no surprise to see him find further progression now switched to fences. Don't Tell Su has left Paul Nicholls to join the Nicky Henderson team, while Viroflay is back with the 14-times champion trainer after a fine hunter chase campaign for his daughter Olive.
