He moved well for much of the race when narrowly denied last week over C&D (good)

Made it 3-3 under Sean Bowen last time and a further 6lb rise looks manageable
3	Gentleman's Relish Brown J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	163	—	PP-384	105	112	79	40d	—	—	0	19.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Bumper winner and placed over hurdles; well held on chase debut but this looks easier

Off since pulling up in December but he's temptingly treated if he's back in good form

The ground was too soft when trying this headgear last time; could run well
