This revolves around BAREL OF LAUGHS who boasts the one outstanding piece of form in his Cheltenham Festival third in March. He went off at 100-1 that day, but he has won since so it was probably not a fluke and anything like a repeat of that effort would see him prevail. Talkonthestreet and Murrayana should go well, but perhaps the main danger may come from The Wealerdealer.
