FILANDERER (5) made a winning return from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (4040m) at Wincanton, partnered by today's rider Jonathan Burke. Strips fitter and is again a top chance. BERTIE WOOSTER (4) did a good job to finish third two back in a steeplechase (4040m) at Wincanton then ran a nice race last time found a couple better in a steeplechase (4040m) at Wincanton 31 days ago, 16 lengths behind the winner. Cannot be left out. SEA INVASION (1) missed the placings in a steeplechase (4490m) at Newbury two back then did a better job to finish third in a steeplechase (4800m) at Kempton Park last start. Expecting a bold run. TACTICAL AFFAIR (3) returns from a 98-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fourth in a steeplechase (3900m) at Fontwell Park, beaten 11 lengths. Already a winner over the obstacles. Anticipating a bright start to the campaign.
