A field of newcomers but Richard Johnson partnered a Gordon Elliott-trained runner to win this in 2015 and any strong support for MR CAPLAN could prove significant. Legal Beagle represents last year’s winning yard and the half-brother to a couple of bumper winners is another to consider along with the E70,000 purchase Dusty's Choice, who is related to winning hurdlers. Tarset Hinny has already undergone wind surgery and is fitted with headgear for this while Abrach Road makes most appeal of his yard’s three runners.

Dusty's Choice (IRE) Elusive Pimpernel gelding out of Raheefa's Mix.
