Formscan - El Elefante certainly caught the eye on her chasing debut when sauntering home to win eased down at Worcester last month and, if she takes a step forward for that first start since April, then she looks a serious danger to all. Smiling Getaway also won on her only start over the larger obstacles and she is another to consider, but GALIA DES LITEAUX may make the most of a drop in class. Eighth in the Grand National last time out, she has had wind surgery since and could take this to start off a rewarding season that may end up back at Aintree.
