In a race where few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is CAN'T BEAT HISTORY who was runner-up in an Irish bumper at the start of his career and could prove a different proposition over hurdles now handicapping. Blended Stealth was placed in a big field at Wetherby recently and rates an obvious threat, while Tom Lacey's Bluebella is another who may fare better now switching her attentions to handicaps.
