Plenty are in with a shout. SPIRITOFTHEGAMES comes here on an attractive mark and is fancied to build on his good recent third in the Plate at Cheltenham when set a lot to do and gain a deserved first win since 2018. Mister Coffey rates a big threat on the back of his excellent Kim Muir second, with last year's third Senior Citizen another who commands plenty of respect. Foxy Jack looks the pick of the Irish challengers and needs considering too.
