STATUARIO won this last year off 2 lb lower and he looks ready to defend his crown given how he shaped behind a subsequent winner over C&D 6 weeks ago. Young Buster is only 4 lb higher for his wide-margin win at Kempton so rates the main threat ahead of Riaan, who arrives on the back of 2 good efforts at the Cheltenham/Punchestown Festivals.
