Runners Spotlight

1
Dedicated Hero
Favorite

Has done his winning at about 2m, most recently in Grade 2 at Haydock (soft); progressive but faces a stiffer task off top weight in this field and now goes a mile further.

Jockey: Ryan ManiaTrainer: Sandy Thomson
2
Intense Approach

Failed to show his form in the Albert Bartlett most recently; steadily progressive otherwise and has gained two of his four hurdles wins in Scotland; major player on ratings.

Jockey: James BowenTrainer: John C McConnell
3
Royal Infantry

Campaigned at about 2m under rules; stiff task in Grade 1 most recently; disappointing favourite the time before; has stamina to prove upped markedly in distance.

Jockey: Harry SkeltonTrainer: Dan Skelton
4
Ballygunner Castle

One of three runners for Willie Mullins; completed a hat-trick (bumpers/hurdle) last year; finished second/third in Graded races over 3m/2m4f the last twice; solid chance.

Jockey: Rachael BlackmoreTrainer: W P Mullins
5
Go West

Progressive front-runner who has a record of 5111 since switched to hurdles, winning easily at Kempton (2m5f) most recently; possibilities, provided he stays this longer trip.

Jockey: Harry CobdenTrainer: Paul Nicholls
