Only a handful of serious candidates, with SOME NECK taken to uphold Cheltenham Cross Country form with Alpha des Obeaux despite 5 lb worse terms with this step up to a marathon trip promising to suit. Ballyboker Bridge is a regular in this, winning it in 2019 and he's far more comfortable than most with the demands of this race.
