Some familiar names are facing the starter in this test of stamina. Dolatulo is a former Grade 3 winner who won a hunter chase at Ffos Las in February for Ben Pauling, though he was behind Pentiffic in the Foxhunter Chase here in March. Fergal O’Brien saddles Pantxoa, who won over 3m2f at Newton Abbot last month and has won here in the past. Join Together was second in the race last year and holds One Conemara on that form. De Boitron and Sybarite are others to consider but THERE’S NO PANIC will relish the extra distance having found 3m too short between the flags - he won the London National in 2013 when trained by Paul Nicholls.
