With Bleu Et Noir likely to make this a good test, it might pay to look at those coming from off the pace and to that extent both last year's winner Cornborough and CHIEFTAIN'S CHOICE make some appeal. The latter is given the vote as he looked like he was coming back to form at Leicester on his latest start and still looks handicapped to win. Cornborough is in good form too should get this run to suit. Both Mad Jack Mytton and Curious Carlos are worthy of respect in a tricky little contest.
