Not an easy race to work out with a good few of these expected to improve for the move up to 3m. Colin Tizzard (no runner this year) has won this for the last two years but the last trainer to win the race before was Nigel Twiston-Davies who runs two very decent contenders and its MOSSY FEN his Aintree winner who gets the vote with an honourable mention going to Redford Road. The Henderson pair Igor and Valtor are both respected with Champagne Well another expected to make his mark especially as he comes from a stable that can do little wrong of late. Kiltealy Briggs related to Grand National winner Ballabriggs needs to improve but will be suited by this 3m test.
