No match for Solness over C&D at Christmas; tongue-tie added and more expected of

Last year's winner whose jumping let him down afterwards; belated seasonal return

C&D third at Christmas behind Solness encouraging but a lot more required here

Front-runner won Grade 1 C&D at Christmas; won't get such leeway here though

Has returned in fine form under forcing tactics; still a bit to find but should go well

Career highlight when winning this race in 2023; hasn't won since and lots to find

Last season's Champion Chase winner has plenty to prove on recent form

Fortria third a career-best; admirable 8yo but out of his depth here
