Another big field with 20 runners for backers to choose from although most look to have next to no chance of troubling the judge. Some of those with claims include the penalised Bright Approach, multiple point-to-point winner Down and the John Dufosse-trained Miners Dance. However, the most talented horse in the race is probably David Pipe's Barryscourt Lad, who showed enough at Aintree last time to suggest he should be good enough to win in this company
