GORCOMBE MOONSHINE won this on his return last year and could repeat the feat. Koenigsstern has made a good start over fences and is a big player. Coup de Gold might go well if none the worse after his Hereford spill.

VerdictDual winning pointer (also successful 3 times on the Flat) and has shown plenty for all that he's yet to strike over hurdles/fences. Runner-up both starts switched to this sphere since returning to action in October and he has to enter calculations. - 7. Gorcombe MoonshineJ: Harry KimberT: Robert WalfordF: 3U4F-3438
