Indiana Bay was fancied for this contest last year but never threatened to take a hand in the finish and eventually trailed home in fourth, though at least fared better than Blinding Lights who was pulled up. Tandori was undoubtedly flattered by her latest third at Wincanton but Bedrock Fred, Minella Web and Third Chance are all recent winners between the flags while What About Will still has time on his side. LITTLE CORNHAM has won seven point-to-points and his two previous runs under Rules have been against better horses than he'll meet here. Will Biddick will give him every assistance from the saddle so he looks the one to beat.
