WESTERN GENERAL (2) is an extremely good jumper who has strung together two wins over the obstacles. Added to the tally last time in a steeplechase (3200m) at Hereford. Class act who is clearly the one to beat. SAINT SEGAL (1) did fairly well when he finished third in a steeplechase (4000m) at Newbury two runs back. Franked that form when just 4.5 lengths away in third last time out in a steeplechase (3990m) at Newbury. Certainly worth including. SAGEBURG COUNTY (9) was pulled up in a steeplechase (4000m) at Warwick two starts back. Made amends last time when he found one better, beaten 0.8 lengths, in a steeplechase (4000m) at Uttoxeter. Must be included. BOURBALI (7) has been mixing his form this preparation over the jumps. In the placings when resuming in a steeplechase (4110m) at Kempton Park then finished 19 lengths from the winner last time in fourth in a steeplechase (4100m) at Kempton Park. Expect a return to form.
