This is a big field for a bumper but only a third of them have run previously. The filly Colour Of The Wind and Avenue Of Honour both made winning starts at Towcester and Huntingdon respectively but now have a penalty to carry. Give Him A Glance was third at Worcester in October but Emrys disappointed when starting favourite at Carlisle at the start of last month. Charlie Swan runs newcomer Bamako Du Chatelet and a market move would be highly significant but the vote goes to another debutant in ZANDINO. There is plenty of stamina in his pedigree and he'll know what's required. One More Go may prove best of the rest.
