Plenty are in with a shout. SHAKEM UP'ARRY impressed when landing the Plate at the Festival and with his jumping an asset he can complete a hat-trick in this prestigious event. Irish-challenger Life In The Park could emerge as the main danger after coming home a very good fourth behind Ben Pauling's upwardly-mobile chaser at Cheltenham, although a solid case can also be made for last year's winner Bill Baxter and the Willie Mullins-trained duo Classic Getaway and James du Berlais.
