This is wide open so it could pay to side with Richard Hannon's low-mileage STEM who got back to winning ways at Sandown last time and remains handily weighted on his first go over this distance. Both Insanity (second choice) and Night Breeze are past winners of this and seem sure to be on the premises again, while Castle Stuart is another with plenty to recommend him.
