The return as a handicap following a 10-year hiatus and the Irish look set to continue their dominance, top-weight STUMPTOWN selected to extend his winning sequence to 4 having gone unbeaten in this discipline since unseating his rider on cross-country debut at Punchestown last spring. Gavin Cromwell's 8-y-o is unlikely to have it all his own way however, with former Grade 1 winner Galvin heading up the dangers, which also include Vanillier, Mister Coffey and Latenightpass.
