Nicky Henderson, Phillip Hobbs and Paul Nicholls have all saddled more than one winner apiece in this race over the last ten years so it makes sense to concentrate on their representatives. Many of Lifestyle's stable companions have been needing their first run and a market check is advised as it is for Two Bob who looks the pick of the Hobbs pair and who is held in high regard but THAT'LLDOBOY may be able to provide Paul Nicholls with another winner. The point-to-point winner is reported to have strengthened up over the summer and is fancied to make his mark this season. Others to bear in mind - and the market will tell us more - are Five Rivers and Peckhamecho.
