BELON GALE's recent exploits don't inspire a lot of confidence but a return to the scene of his greatest triumph, in the 2010 Northumberland National, could spark a revival and he will outclass these if anywhere near his best. Rosemore Deja Vu is the one most likely to cash in should Simon Robinson's charge fail again as he won a point-to-point at Paxton two weeks ago. Anotherbuck and Emerald Destiny are very modest performers however.
