This should be run at quite a pace although the main focus may well be on the rematch between stablemates Diego Du Charmil and Capeland after their barging match at the final fence last month. The former emerged with a controversial win while the later was disqualified, 6lb better off this time those placings may be reversed. The 1-2-3 from last years contest all turn up again with the second Speredek looking to go one better although he may face competition for the lead from Knocknanuss (blinkers on for the first-time). That pair may well set the race up for a closer in THE LAST DAY who despite a hefty rise in the weights still looks unexposed over fences and can follow up his Aintree win.
