A select field for this £50,000 prize includes last year's hero Royal Vacation, who should again be right in the thick of the action and appears to have been laid out for a repeat bid. Assuming he is none the worse for his exertions though, recent Welsh National third YALA ENKI gets a marginal call with the ground in his favour. He may try to dominate this from the front. Valtor is feared as he is very talented when on his game and has done well over timber so far this term, while Rock The Kasbah, so narrowly denied in Grade 3 company at Cheltenham last time, is also a player if things go his way. The other two have plenty to find on official figures.
- Yala Enki
- Royal Vacation
- Valtor
