The colours worn by Set In Stone have been carried to victory for the past two years in this contest and this three-time course winner is sure to make a bold bid having run well here all season, in fact his last six runs have all come here. However, his compatriot THE LAST EMPEROR looks to hold stronger claims for a yard who have yet to score on the level with a GB runner but have landed a couple of notable jumps gambles in the past year or so on these shores. The home defence is led by the likes of Indomeneo and Redgrave with Rashdan also in the mix on his best form although that trio will do well to hold off the Irish challenge.
