A race that has often been won by a big-priced runner with previous runners in the race well worth respecting. However this time around Paul Nicholls (won two of last three renewals) looks to hold the key with his progressive MAGIC SAINT who despite his age has plenty of chasing experience; this test won’t faze him. Not Another Muddle impressed with his jumping when last seen and lurks on a good mark and he along with Irish challenger Mind’s Eye look the main dangers. Last year’s 1-2-3 Le Prezien, Gino Trail and Top Gamble all return with Caid Du Lin and Tree Of Liberty two at bigger prices who catch the eye in what promises to be a hot renewal of this 2m handicap.
