A fascinating opener which sees Ballymore sixth and seventh Galvin and Seddon renew hostilities. The latter is 4lb better off but has 11 lengths to find with the Gordon Elliott runner. Paul Nicholls won this last year and GETAWAY TRUMP, second to Champ in the Challow in December, is much better than he showed when failing to land the odds at Kelso last time. Our Power has solid four-year-old form but the mare Lust For Glory may have a bit to find judged on her run at Cheltenham.
