Parsnip Pete was always travelling well when gaining a debut success over the C&D earlier this month but a penalty and some well-connected newcomers makes this tougher. Nicky Henderson saddles SIZING INDIA and Final Cast and it's the former, who is related to several winners, who gets the vote under AP McCoy. Henrietta Knight won this in 2007 so Milansbar is one to keep an eye on as is Castle Conflict, who has won twice between the flags in Ireland recently and has joined Henry Daly.
