In Extra Time is preferred to Mightymuller and Mohayer. In the absence of market information, we have nominated this selection as he is related to previous winners and McCoy has been booked. Mightymuller delivered an improved effort but that is not saying a lot given his previous form. Mohayer ran a pleasing enough introduction over hurdles and can be anticipated to have improved. Royal Attraction ran a stinker when sent off an evens favourite for a National Hunt flat race but had shown ability previously and is a far from forlorn hope at this grade. Carnival Town is looking an expensive purchase for what he has achieved. Smart Street may need further in time but has claims in a race that is not strong. In Extra Time is nominated in the absence of market information to the contary.
