The biggest field since 2013 likely to go to post with the favourite having been successful in three of the last four years. The Irish also have a good record in this and provide the likely market leader SUPERSUNDAE who comes here on the back of his second in the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham. He won’t have it all his own way though with Nicky Henderson (trained winner three times last seven years) running both My Tent Or Yours and L’Ami Serge, the former of that duo twice a runner-up in this, coming here fresh in an attempt to go one better. The New One also returns for another go having won this before adding some depth to the race.
