(Forecast 51.00) N J Henderson b g - Fashionista 10 761-373 (IRE) 33 CD 9 11 - 10 D N Russell 160 J H Culloty Jockey Colours: Navy blue, scarlet stripe and cap Notes: b g Oscar - Satellite Dancer Timeform says: Was scoring for the third time at the Festival when winning this event in 2013. Hasn't been in the same form since, but would be right in the mix if rediscovering his Jockey Colours: Purple, yellow cross of lorraine, yellow cap Notes: best. (Forecast 17.00) Timeform says: Won the 2013 RSA and caused a shock when winning a messy renewal of this race 12 months ago. Has been campaigned this term with a repeat in mind, but will need 2 1-13244 BOSTON BOB (IRE) 33 10 11 - 10 P Townend 160 to improve further to retain his crown.

Jockey Colours: Black and beige (halved), chevrons on sleeves, red cap Notes: Needs to raise his game again, however. (Forecast 15.00) Timeform says: Arguably unlucky not to win last year's race (hampered by winner in closing stages) and good second in the Lexus his best effort this season. Hard to seeing him going 4 113/111 CONEYGREE 34 C 8 11 - 10 Nico de Boinville 166 one better aged 11, however.

Jockey Colours: Pink, large purple spots, hooped sleeves Notes: Timeform says: Won for second time before retaining his King George crown on Boxing Day (in this headgear both times). Sets a clear standard on those efforts but yet to show best form at this track. (Forecast 5.00) 17 U112-52 SMAD PLACE (FR) 48 8 11 - 10 W Hutchinson 154 gr g Smadoun - Bienna Star A King

Jockey Colours: Grey and maroon diamonds, grey sleeves Notes: Timeform says: Third in 2 World Hurdles and translated that ability to fences last term, close second in the RSA at this meeting. However, beaten by Many Clouds on both starts this season and looks vulnerable. (Forecast 34.00) 18 513-754 THE GIANT BOLSTER 48 C 10 11 - 10h T Scudamore 157 D G Bridgwater b g Black Sam Bellamy - Divisa

Jockey Colours: Red and white check, black and white check sleeves, royal blue cap Notes: Timeform says: Has finished in the frame in the last 3 Gold Cups (close third last year) and not disgraced in the Betfair Chase at Haydock/Cotswold Chase here this term. Could go well again at likely big odds. (Forecast 34.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: HOLYWELL has won handicaps at the last 2 Festivals and showed his well- being when scoring at Kelso last month. A Grade 1 winner at Aintree last April, he’s preferred to Silviniaco Conti, who is the one to beat on form but has failed in this race twice before. Djakadam and Many Clouds both remain progressive and could also get involved.

Timeform 1-2-3: 1: HOLYWELL 2: SILVINIACO CONTI 3: DJAKADAM
