Last year's renewal of this race went to one trained by Mark Walford and in TARA BROOCH and Having A Barney the yard saddles two live contenders this time round, too. The latter's claims are the more obvious but it's not hard to envisage the well-bred Tara Brooch taking a big step forward now moving into handicap company and going up in trip. If able to put his reappearance run behind him, Freethinker won't be far away and Pipers Cross is also of interest.
