Side with the progressive What's Up Boys to land another big chasing prize for trainer Philip Hobbs at Chepstow today.
The Somerset handler will be out to complete a memorable hat-trick of big-race wins in recent weeks when his runner tackles the Welsh National.
The selection landed the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup in typically thrilling fashion, and Flagship Uberalles followed up in the Tingle Creek Chase the following weekend.
And, after mulling over a crack at the King George VI Chase, Hobbs decided on the Coral Eurobet-sponsored stamina test for his charge.
What's Up Boys was returning from a long absence at the Berkshire track but looked fit enough to do himself justice and so it proved.
He raced prominently throughout and rallied in very determined fashion to get up after looking beat after jumping the last.
But he found his way over to the stands' rail and got up in the dying strides to deny Behrajan by a neck.
His previous outing came in the Whitbread Gold Cup at Sandown back in April when he put up a fine performance to chase home Ad Hoc.
Today's race will test his stamina to the limit but there is every reason to believe he will be involved in the finish.
