The runner-up in last year's renewal, Buckstruther has been winning point-to-points recently and should figure. Douglas Julian finished second over regulation fences at Hexham last month when Radharc Na Mara was tailed off and can also get involved. But BARACHOIS SILVER won one of these events at Perth recently with plenty in hand and he gets the vote. Indian Print has more scope than most of these while both Beggar's Velvet and Eyre Square have the past form to make their presence felt.
