It's interesting that Nicky Henderson has sent Barman here, along with stable jockey Nico De Boinville for his only ride of the day, but MAN OF PLENTY makes more appeal following a fine second at Cheltenham last weekend. The same conditional rider is able to claim 2lb more in this race which all but cancels out the horse's 3lb higher rating, and a repeat of that performance would surely see him go very close. Cloonacool hasn't been at his best of late but based on previous form completes the tricast.
