Four previous winners line-up. SECRET REPRIEVE is the most recent and he took last season's renewal in the style of one has more to offer so he's fancied to make light of his absence since and become the first back-to-back winner since Bonanza Boy in 1988-89. Deise Aba looks well-in off the same mark as when edged out by Highland Hunter at Sandown so he's feared most. Iwilldoit is next best.
