Mount Sandel bids to go one better than 12 months ago and has been in good form between the flags recently. But he may have to give best to DESCRIPTION, who made all to beat the useful Gwanako in a big field at Larkhill last month and represents last year's successful stable. Palypso De Creek is sometimes let down by his jumping but has the ability to figure if getting his act together while Teddy's Reflection can't be ignored, though returns from a layoff and has a penalty to carry. Kornati Kid has lost his way a little this term but would also have claims on last year's form.
