Getabird is sure to be popular in his bid to hand the Mullins/Walsh axis another win in this race. He was impressive in seeing off Mengli Khan last time but doesn't have the star appeal of some former winners from the yard and is opposable. Gordon Elliott's charge meanwhile has some damage to repair, but isn't written off. KALASHNIKOV was very impressive in stringing out some seasoned performers at Newbury last month and that experience is going to stand him in good stead. He deserves the vote on the strength of that win. Summerville Boy is clearly a danger, while First Flow and Debuchet could run well.
