This should be put in the too difficult tray, but in Cesarewitch winner Distant Prospect, we have a horse, who stays exteremly well, goes on most types of ground and is genuine. Guard Duty, who stays well over hurdles, will be a threat, as will Gracilis, who will appreciate this better ground, having got stuck in the mud at Haydock. Others to note are the progressive Almaydan, High And Mighty, who won this race two years ago and the lightly weighted Wintertide, the winner of a couple of bumpers.
