In a fiendishly difficult contest more than half of the 22 runners make some appeal but the vote goes to recent Navan winner FACE OFF under the excellent Colin Keane who is usually worth a few lb in such contests. Dangers aplenty include the very much in-form filly Powersville and mare Sweetest Taboo along with last time out winner Bahlwan.
