This looks one for market watchers. Those with experience under Rules have shown little and Willie Mullins' Blazing Emily was beaten a long way in her only start between the flags a year ago. Gordon Elliott has two entries. Avanzi is the first foal of a winning point-to-pointer while Soldiers Hill's dam won a bumper though was better known as a staying hurdler. RISK FACTOR is a half-brother to two winning bumpers and out of a very smart mare who also won a bumper. He looks the ideal type for this on breeding and gets the vote though Half And Half is definitely one to note as he's a half-brother to six winners on the Flat.
