LE LIGERIEN (3) was most recently at the races three months ago. Closed the last campaign with a win in a steeplechase (4000m) at Lingfield, getting home by 5.5 lengths. Well-placed here and sure to be tough to beat. STONER'S CHOICE (2) was unplaced two back in a hurdle (3860m) at Ascot. Finished second last time in a much better performance in a hurdle (4200m) at Kempton Park, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will take some stopping. ANNSAM (1) has not been a factor of late. Two starts back could only manage fourth in a steeplechase (4780m) at Ascot. At the latest run he was pulled up in a steeplechase (4780m) at Ascot. In the mix if he gets things right. THE WIDDOW MAKER (5) is yet to strike a blow in two runs this campaign. Opened with a sixth in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton then was 15 lengths off the winner in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton 28 days ago. No surprise to see him back in form.
