An ultra-competitive renewal of this valuable handicap and it may well go the way of Willie Mullins' THE REVEREND. Aidan O'Brien has enjoyed recent success in this race with 3-y-os and his Port Of Spain has to enter calculations. Blake looks a fascinating contender back on the Flat, while Tim Toe, Truth Be Told, Kingstonian and Sky Captain also appeal.
