Bravemansgame is the current favourite in the betting odds for the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase on Saturday.
(Odds will display when the market is available)
Bravemansgame won this race in 2022 before going on to win the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day in the same year, but he hasn't been in the winners' circle since then following a number of near misses.
Grey Dawning, who has been tipped as a potential Cheltenham Gold Cup challenger in 2025, was also expected to feature but he was declared a non-runner on the eve of the race.
Conflated goes again after being pulled up in a Grade 3 at Punchestown three weeks ago, with the winner of that race, French Dynamite, also set to challenge after an impressive display.
The Real Whacker is available at longer odds after failing to kick on since his Brown Advisory win 18 months ago, but if Patrick Neville has him back to his best then he has the potential to challenge the market leaders.
