The 158-rated CADMIUM for the Willie Mullins yard can get back to winning ways in this contest. The eight-year-old last won at Aintree in a Grade 3 contest last April and can land the spoils in this event. The wayward but talented Mengli Khan for the Gordon Elliott yard and the 150-rated Ornua who has disappointed this season can pose the biggest threat.
