There should be a number of willing runners to lead here in the early stages of this contest. Ali Bin Nayef, He's Our Vinnie and Foreign Bay like to get on with things usually and could set the race up for the likes of the returning Itsallhappening, the likable Battling Spirit and the improving THE CHURCH GATE to battle for the win.
