Gleann Na Ndochais, ROYAL MACNAB and Mister First are all previous course and distance winners and could dominate this. The latter won this last year and is only 2lb higher but Rebecca Menzies' charge is also starting to look well handicapped and is just preferred reverting to his best trip. Gleann Na Ndochais looks a better bet than Voyage A New York, who has a modest strike rate, and Willie Hall, who is returning from a break.
