Plenty are in with a shout. FONTAINE COLLONGES showed she goes well at this track when scoring on her return, and with this longer trip promising to really suit Venetia Williams' unexposed mare, she gets the vote. C&D winner Tim Pat is another who will benefit from having his stamina drawn out more and he is next on the list, although Welsh National hero The Two Amigos, last year's winner Bristol de Mai and the unexposed Omar Maretti can have a say too in a very open contest.
