BRING ON THE NIGHT hasn't been seen out since posting a fine second in this event 12 months ago and this unexposed sort from the powerful Willie Mullins yard (holds an excellent record in this event) is taken to go one better with Ryan Moore again in the saddle. Chester Cup runner-up Zoffee could emerge as the chief threat, although Nicky Henderson's Ahorsewithnoname is hugely respected back in this sphere. Zinc White and Novel Legend complete the shortlist in a fiercely competitive handicap.
