As with the Arkle which five of these contested it looks as though there will be a good pace on with at least three of these usually ridden positively. One of those will be the Arkle faller Ornua whose trainer Henry De Bromhead has won this twice before; Knocknanuss is another free-going sort (who failed to cope with the standing start in the Arkle along with Clondaw Castle who did well to last as long as he did given the pace pressure he faced. That scenario could set the race up in a similar way again for Arkle runner-up US AND THEM to pick up the pieces again having shown consistent form at this level. Destrier is the dark horse of the race who looks to have been saved for this test.
