Double Whammy and Harry The Viking return to the scene of their 1-2 finish in 2016, with the latter named probably making most progress since by winning to Borders National at Kelso in December. However, the handicapper has both horses where he wants them these days, and they each finished behind NAKADAM at Kelso earlier in the month. He seems to go well during the spring and carries a nice racing weight of 10st 9lb in this marathon contest. Of the less exposed types, Shanroe Street could step forward, whilst the in-form Rose Dobbin yard are represented by the 'slow' but rugged stayer Smugglers Stash. As they've shown previously in the 2016 Eider Chase with Rocking Blues, they know what it takes to win one of these long distance regional 'nationals'.
