Both of those with experience have shown promise but Off The Planet’s only run came more than a year ago. Several powerful yards are represented in this and Nicky Henderson’s ARTURUS cost €230,000 and is a half-brother to five winners – his trainer has won this twice in the past. Steady The Ship shouldn’t be short of speed and his stable do well in this sphere while San Giovanni is a half-brother to two bumper winners. Jersey has a cracking NH pedigree and is also worth a second look.
