A typically wide-open renewal of this contest but a chance is taken on 2017's National winner ONE FOR ARTHUR. He saves his best form for this venue and if he's in the same form that saw him finish sixth in this year's renewal of the aforementioned race, he could be hard to beat. Last year's winner Walk In The Mill is another obvious candidate for the shortlist while last year's runner-up Vieux Lion Rouge finds himself on a workable mark once again.
