Trained by in-form trainer Olly Murphy, who has had 10 winners in the past 2 weeks, and top jockey Sean Bowen, who has a 27% strike rate. Won an Irish point-to-point and is well-bred. Fitness has to be taken on trust but has an outstanding chance in a hot race.

Dan Skelton's horse made a nice impression when winning a bumper at Chepstow. It had a wind operation since then but could well be a bit above average.

Poet's Word gelding who was runner-up in a point over in Ireland on yielding-soft ground, and he was quickly snapped up by his current connections for £130,000. He has similar ground today, and the 20f trip could suit better than most, and he can go well under jockey Ben Jones who is currently 5-19.

Irish PTP winner and should be noted that all of dams previous 3 progeny were good winners in the NH sphere of racing. Large stamina dosage in that nice pedigree so this 2.4 miles on rules debut going to suit and good jockey/trainer combinaton makes current 28/1 decent Ew value in the race.

This is even more competitive than the first division and will throw up plenty of future winners. Harzand could take the beating, but one who could surprise is Jackomy for Neil Mulholland. He has a lovely National Hunt pedigree with Deep Run and Oscar in the bloodline. In his only Irish point run, he was clear at the last when falling, and the race looks to have worked out quite well. He could surprise at big odds.

Genovese hasn't run for over 2 years. I don't know why, but obviously has had a big setback. However, was sent off at 10/3 and 9/2 in maidens then, so must have shown ability. If fit, may have a shout.
