Plenty of runners and plenty of big stables represented in what should be an informative bumper, and we side with The Holy Bee ahead of Wellpict One, although watch the betting very carefully. With Jonjo O'Neill running All right Now M'Lad, Alan King Ballistigo, Sue Smith Bougoure, Nicky Henderson Bugle Major, Keith Reveley Chamaco, Paul Webber Irish Preacher, Ian Williams Madgik de Beaumont, Henrietta Knight The Holy Bee, Nigel Twiston-Davies, the Wellpict One, who showed promise on her debut, we should see plenty of future winners in action in the finale. However, the one for today is The Holy Bee, about whom good reports have been received.
