A microcosm of the champion trainer's title battle here. Paul Nicholls is double-handed and Nicky Henderson relies on one and it is his JAMESON who is favoured to win. The weights are slightly to his advantage, while he is arguably less exposed and can follow-up his Ffos Las success. Copain De Classe looks the big danger, though might find conceding 6lb to his chief rival just too much and while stablemate Peak To Peak is not dismissed lightly, he looks to have to find even more. Master Dancer is the most likely improver of the remainder.
