All of these have strong claims, but marginal preference is for WHERE'S CATO. Evan Williams' mare won on her chasing debut at Huntingdon last month and remains open to plenty of improvement. With that in mind, the seven-year-old can defy a 2lb rise here. Hors Jeu pulled 16 lengths clear of the third when a nose second at Hereford last time and is an obvious threat, while Star Of Affinity also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing.
Prediction : 1st Wheres Cato 2nd Hors Jeu 3rd Star Of Affinity

PACHACUTI was second of 2m4f at Ffos Las a month ago and, given the third from that contest has won since, David Pipe's gelding merits the utmost respect back up in trip, despite a 3lb rise. First-time cheekpieces may spark further improvement from Madajovy following his Warwick second last time, while Godot is another who arrives here with strong form claims.
Prediction : 1st Pachacuti 2nd Madajovy 3rd Godot

TENNESSEE TANGO chased home two talented rivals when filling third place over 2m at Chepstow in December and the strength of that form gives the six-year-old a big chance here. King Of Records was narrowly denied when runner-up at Hereford last time and he could prove to be the main danger. That said, Reteti and Answer That are others who merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Tennessee Tango 2nd King Of Records 3rd Reteti

Non Stop could only manage seventh when bidding for a double at Ascot in December, but has to be respected back over fences. Cobbler's Boy should benefit from his chasing bow at Warwick and is likely to show more, but ICARE GRANDCHAMP gets the vote. The eight-year-old has his quirks, but finished over five lengths clear of the third when second at this level at Haydock last month and a similar performance might suffice.
Prediction : 1st Icare Grandchamp 2nd Non Stop 3rd Cobblers Boy

Inferno Sacree continues to go up in the handicap without getting his head in front, finishing in the top three in each of his last five starts. He should remain competitive, but OUR PAPA SMURF made every yard of the running to score on his second handicap outing over 2m here and is just 3lb higher. This step up in distance could bring out improvement and he looks the way to go. Macari completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Our Papa Smurf 2nd Inferno Sacree 3rd Macari

Record High was fourth at Fontwell last time having gone close at the same track prior to that. He still has the beating of Minella Kaiser, but LITTLE WREN may prove a tougher nut to crack. The daughter of Walk In The Park left her moderate hurdling form behind when making all at Fakenham on her chasing bow, and there looks plenty more to come from Dan Skelton's inmate over the larger obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Little Wren 2nd Record High 3rd Minella Kaiser

KILL THE GROOVE bounced back with a close second over C&D a fortnight ago. She looks on a fair mark on the evidence of that neck defeat and another bold bid is anticipated from Karen Jewell's inmate. The four-year-old Penn Avenue faced a tough assignment when fourth in a decent novices event at Windsor last time. She's open to improvement now handicapping, while the same comment applies to Rene's Walk.
Prediction : 1st Kill The Groove 2nd Penn Avenue 3rd Renes Walk
