PreviewsCases can be made for plenty but a chance is taken on EVA'S OSKAR, who shaped with promise when posting an encouraging second at Cheltenham earlier this month behind a smart improver. The seven-year-old gelding is a triple course winner and he could be suited by this extra test of stamina. Highland Hunter appears to be the chief threat after his win at Sandown in the London National, but he has to carry a 4lb penalty for that success here. Secret Reprieve has not been seen since winning this race last season and he is respected on his return, while Hold That Taught, Native River and The Big Dog complete the shortlist.
