Once again the standout contender here is BAREL OF LAUGHS. Last year's winner has also finished third in the Foxhunters' at the Cheltenham Festival over this C&D the past two years and just looks a cut above the rest of these, once again ridden by Alex Edwards who knows him so well. The main dangers could well be Fouravakind, who could do well if completing this time round, as well as last year's runner up The Wealerdealer.
