A race that has stayed in Britain on four of the last six years, and may do so again with the fast-improving COPPERHEAD looking tailor-made for this assignment. He jumps for fun and will stay all day long. Champ is fascinating and could have the class to land this prize but the error that cost him victory in the Dipper on New Year's Day was truly desperate and it will be heart in mouth stuff over the obstacles. Last year's Albert Bartlett winner Minella Indo could be a massive threat over this trip while his old rival Allaho is seemingly the one Team Mullins have most faith in despite being beaten by Easy Game in December.
