Formscan - Title-chasing Dan Skelton has shown on multiple occasions this season how adept he is at targeting one at a big handicap and 2022 Coral Gold Cup winner LE MILOS may fall into that bracket. Unbeaten in two starts here, the nine-year-old has solely run over the smaller obstacles this season, all the while protecting his chase mark for a tilt at this valuable prize. A comfortable winner of this contest last year, Kitty's Light should be thereabouts again, though he will need to get over his Grand National exertions from a fortnight ago when he finished an admirable fifth. Threeunderthrufive deservedly regained the winning thread at Ascot in February and he is a player, along with Irish Grand National third Minella Cocooner and Amirite, who should relish this ground. Others to note include Nick Rockett, Rapper and Weveallbeencaught.
