Rebecca Curtis has a tremendous record with her bumpers horses around here. The stable has won this race for the past two years and can complete the hat-trick via debutant ACCORDION EXHIBIT, who is from the same family as useful jumpers Hardatit and Toogood To be True and will know what's required. Winning pointer Ely Brown may be the pick of the remainder as those with experience haven't shown a great deal so far and the other newcomers don't make much appeal on breeding.
