A good turnout for this valuable event and a credible case could be made a number of runners on various form-lines. Nicky Henderson has won the last two runnings - sending out subsequent Cheltenham hero Might Bite a year ago - and, though DIVINE SPEAR may not be quite in the same league, he looks a likely type for this on the evidence of two fined placed effort over shorter trips in good company. Irish raider Golden Spear is another obvious one for the short-list, whilst handicap debutants Brio Conti, Charlemar and Bandsman also have plenty going for them..
