For the second year in a row, Nicky Henderson runs the favourite in the race (Jonbon) and he’ll be hoping to go a couple of places better than last time.
Last year, Henderson had Shishkin lining up who only managed third – and the Sholokhov gelding looks to be racing on the card once again in a prep run for the King George on Boxing Day.
The classy nine-year-old could line up in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle alongside stable companion Constitution Hill.
