SAINTEMILLION looks the one to beat after an impressive win at Exeter on his latest start and a similar display of jumping could have a few of these in trouble pretty early on. He looks the improver in the field and should be tough to beat. Enola Gay keeps running well without winning and can ht the places once more, with Lickpenny Larry possibly the best of the rest. Solar Impulse would have made much more appeal back at two miles.
