BEN BUTTON has thrived since joining the champion trainer and while the winning margin last time at Listowel wasn't that big as he completed the hat-trick, he certainly was not fully extended to achieve it. He can defy his latest ratings hike to score under the champion jockey. Of his stablemates in the field, the mare
Blixt looks the more likely although she isn't the most consistent.
Mine Now has hit the crossbar a couple of times recently and can go well again while
Snugsborough Benny is in good heart but likely must improve to register another win in this field.
Ned Stark, off a long layoff, is an interesting runner first time out for Gordon Elliott while
Sir Jack Yeats could get involved off his much lower hurdles rating.
