A race with a rich history this and all seven of these look horses with bright futures in the game. The vote goes to Paul Nicholls GETAWAY TRUMP who has won impressively the last twice and anything hailing from the 10-time champion trainer's Ditcheat yard at present has to be feared given his quite incredible run of form. Nicky Henderson also knows what it takes to win this and his Champ is certainly a leading contender having only been beaten once and that by a top-drawer horse so far over hurdles. Also high on the shortlist is unbeaten mare Alsa Mix for the 2016 winning trainer Alan King.
