Emmet Mullins has quickly established himself as a force in big-field handicaps across all spheres and his THE SHUNTER is fancied to return in style having been last seen on the Flat bagging Newmarket's Cesarewitch Handicap. Andrew Balding looks to hold a strong hand and his duo Aztec Empire and Grand Providence both look equipped to go well. Duke of Oxford, Too Friendly and Magellan Strait complete the shortlist in a cracking Chester Cup.
