In depth
Verdict
Sue Smith sent out the last winner of this in 2020 and TRESHNISH looks to have every chance today. The latter missed out by only a nose at Newcastle last time and another bold bid is expected in an open contest. Claret Dabbler also went close at Catterick on his latest start and is preferred to Lastin' Memories while Lucky Robin has a shout on an earlier second at Market Rasen. The Big Jetaway makes his chasing debut and the Irish raider Itsalonglongroad is not without a shout at this level.
