Despite a large field this race appears to lack a lot of depth. Capital Force has gone close in similar company on a couple of occasions but it is something of a worry that he travels so powerfully and doesn't appear to find as much as might be expected in the finish. As such, he is bypassed in favour of jumping newcomer SHARPS CHOICE, whose trainer has landed the last two renewals of this race. He has twice placed in bumpers at this track and can take advantage of his main market rival in the run to the line. Shakeytry showed some promise over C&D on his hurdles debut and can again threaten the minor money while Give Battle and Rebel Ace also have some potential to do better. Niamh's Wish is a half-sister to Harchibald and will generate some interest as a result.
