Few horses put up bolder jumping performances last season than FOXTAIL HILL en-route to winning this very race. It was a little disappointing that he couldn't build on that but he often saves his best performances for first time out and from 2lb lower than 2017 he is fancied to follow up. Modus also has a good record first time out and his sometimes sketchy jumping suits such small fields so he is most feared. Bigmartre won a Grade Two to end a good novice campaign and is respected here also.
