BREWIN'UPASTORM looked better than ever when winning on his Aintree reappearance and is fancied to confirm his National Spirit superiority over McFabulous, who took this race last season (at Kempton) and should go well on his return after wind surgery. Stormy Ireland is an interesting contender for Willie Mullins.
