The vote goes to FASCILE MODE, who was 6 lb out of the handicap when a fine second in a valuable Grade 3 handicap chase at Cheltenham last month and he makes plenty of appeal returned to this sphere. If Ayiko is fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance he will be a big threat, while Yeats Star and Grimaud, two of the four Gordon Elliott-trained representatives, are also shortlisted. Buachaillbocht is another to consider.
