Those horses that are likely to figure towards the top end of the market are all much of a muchness on both hurdles and Flat ratings, and these include
Big Thunder,
INNISCASTLE LAD and
Jamacho. Both Brian Ellison and Donald McCain should be applauded for supporting these additional jumpers bumper fixtures, whilst acknowledging that other trainers might like to, but simply can't travel at present, so it would perhaps be fitting for one of that pair to saddle the winner. The McCain trained selection has stamina to definitively prove over 2m, but handles synthetic surfaces well enough and could be the solution to a rather tricky looking finale.
