On the face of it, another devilishly-competitive renewal of a race which is notoriously hard to predict at the best of times. Course-specialist Thomas Crapper has to enter the equation under a penalty after his emphatic recent win at Newbury, whilst last year's Coral Cup winner Diamond King is an obvious player from a potentially favourable mark on his handicap debut over fences. Preference however is for another handicap debutant in STARCHITECT who also boasts strong Festival form and who represents a yard with a tremendous record in this race. Last year's runner-up Tango De Juilley, Bouvreuil and Sizing Codelco are also interesting.
