BRAVE SEASCA resumed progress in emphatic fashion at Aintree 29 days ago and his smooth-travelling style will lend itself to this race so he takes preference over Midnight River, who shaped so well in the Paddy Power Gold Cup. Il Ridoto and Stolen Silver also merit consideration in what looks a fiercely-competitive renewal.
