The Alan King trained gelding, priced at 100/30 at the start of the week by race sponsors 888sport, is one of 18 horses confirmed entries for the £150,000 Grade One race.

Sandown’s head of racing Andrew Cooper said: “We are delighted with the quality and quantity of entries for this year’s race.
“The race is always one of the highlights of our jump season and is now our joint-most valuable jump race.
