In depth
Verdict
Those to have run don't appear to set a particularly daunting standard and it might be worth rowing in with a newcomer. Plenty of stables that do well in this type of race unveil debutants, with the Jefferson team fielding the Presenting gelding Bally Conor and Kitikat also making appeal form a pedigree perspective for the O'Neill operation. Global Rhapsody is another to look potentially interesting for the Mulholland team and he would be the choice if TEL'ART does not run. The latter has a solid jumping pedigree and represents a yard that have done well here over the years. However, she is also engaged to run in the last race at Warwick on Saturday evening so we'll have to see which race Ben Pauling aims her at.
