Formscan - Shakem Up'arry recorded a C&D double in the Plate here back in March, but was then disappointing in the Topham off this 6lb higher mark so TORN AND FRAYED makes more appeal. Nigel Twiston-Davies' 10-year-old won a competitive veterans' chase at Warwick with plenty left in the tank and can confirm superiority over runner-up Eldorado Allen, despite the worse terms. Dashel Drasher returned to chasing with a creditable third at Ascot and is not without a chance off his current rating. Copperhead is another to consider.
