PAHLAVI can win this for the second year running and also provide Shark Hanlon with a hat-trick of wins in this contest. He Who Dares has continued in good form on the Flat since his Wexford hurdle success and is feared most ahead of the consistent Granlahan. Gordon Elliott handicap newcomer Youknowthecode would also need considering if the betting speaks in his favour.
