Nigel Twiston-Davies and Jamie Bargary won this contest last year and can do so again with BALLYHILL who recorded a course and distance sucecess last time out. The seven-year-old should be effective off a 5lb higher mark with more improvement to come. Coo Star Sivola jumped well here last time out and may be able to exploit a workable mark while Drumlee Sunset should strip fitter for his most recent run and can gain some prize money.
