Plenty with claims in a typically competitive renewal of this contest, including last year's victor KITTY'S LIGHT, who boasts a tremendous record in marathon events and looks fairly treated in his bid for a repeat success. Last season's Coral Gold Cup winner Le Milos has had a light campaign and looks well handicapped, whilst Nick Rockett remains with potential and is the choice of Paul Townend. Kinondo Kwetu and Amirite will be suited by likely better ground and complete the shortlist.
