Donald McCain, Cholmondeley T B Gestut Etzean Proactive Personnel Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Talented sort who arrives on the back of a trio of chase wins this year. Has a 10lb lower mark over hurdles so has to be of some interest for a stable enjoying a tremendous season. TFRHHHHI BHA130

PLAY SMARTER LANGER DAN didn’t get the chance to show what he could do in the Martin Pipe but the fact he went off favourite suggests connections were hopeful he was back in the same form as when second in that race last year and he’s well worth another chance. The Chris Gordon stable is in excellent form so Highway One O Two, who was runner-up off a higher mark last season, has to be on the shortlist. Nicky Henderson pair Balco Coastal and Fils d’Oudairies are also respected along with Cobblers Dream.
