British raider Captain Drake is well worthy of attention for a trainer that has taken this prize before while Cuneo's fourth in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham was a solid effort in this context. Three Musketeers typically improved on first start for Gordon Elliott to win at Aintree, though 3m is a question mark. INSULT was just starting to shape well on handicap debut when he fell at Fairyhouse and, if none the worse, could go well off this rating now. Small Farm and My Sister Sarah are amongst a strong squad for the champion trainer while Present In Court needs a close look on handicap bow.
