Aghabullogue point-to-point winner Emerald Chieftan rates as an interesting rules debutante for local trainer Rebecca Menzies in a modest contest where plenty of the remainder have masses to prove. Ballasalla is a full-brother to 2011 Grand National winner Ballabriggs, but he's not shown much thus far and looks more of a horse for further down the line, so the confident selection is the penalised Ludlow scorer LORD NAPIER. The Bowen family tend to do well with their Sedgefield runners (3 from 16; 19% strike rate over the past five years), so it'll come as a major shock if he's not capable of following up that victory.
