Formscan - Ginny's Destiny could follow in the footsteps of stablemate Stage Star, who landed the Timeform Novices' Handicap Chase en route to winning this 12 months ago. He defeated Grey Dawning on his penultimate outing, too, although the latter had excuses and it would come as no surprise if both were involved in the finish today. Facile Vega heads the Willie Mullins challenge, although he will need to jump with greater fluency than he did in the Irish Arkle. Sharjah might be an 11-year-old now but he is no back number, while Djelo is another to merit consideration following a solid second in the Scilly Isles at Sandown. However, the vote goes to last year's Martin Pipe victor IROKO, who made a faultless start to his chasing career when on target at Warwick back in November. A 128-day absence might be cause for concern for a few, but he remains a top-class prospect and can find the required improvement to make his mark at the highest level.
