A shortlist can be drawn up of Mr Half Sharp, Red Brook Lad and Dalus Park and all have to be feared on the pick of their form. However, a value alternative could prove to be Wise Prince, who would have won at Hereford ten days ago had he not made a complete hash of the last fence. He is normally a sound jumper and makes plenty of appeal to make amends for last time at a decent price.
