JUSTICIALISM ran well in refitted blinkers here last time and might be the way to go if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Hidden Land is another who is much respected on the back of a recent good effort at this venue. Gordon Elliott won this race last year and his handicap newcomer Lucky Storm completes the shortlist.
