2. Certainly Red (-)

4. Lord Baddesley (-)

VIROFLAY (1) will find this much easier than when finishing tailed off in the G3 Topham Handicap Chase at Aintree over the Grand National fences last month. Goes well for Olive Nicholls and unlikely to be too far away. HOE JOLY SMOKE (3) has always threatened to win a big race. Didn't get involved on soft ground at Ayr recently. Given wind surgery before that and may prove a different proposition here. CERTAINLY RED (2) is a veteran who was very smart in his day and produced a solid third at Sandown Park during March. Consider. LORD BADDESLEY (4) wears a visor for the first time and no surprise to see a different horse.
