Trainer Anthony Honeyball saddled the runner-up in this race in 2012 and ACEY MILAN may be able to go one better for the trainer in this year's renewal. The selection has won his last two races in Listed company and is more experienced than most in here. He can get the better of Blackbow who appears to be the first-string for leading Irish trainer Willie Mullins. Gordon Elliott regularly dominates in bumpers in Ireland and his Felix Desjy, unbeaten in three starts including a point-to-point can finish third on this occasion while Know The Score can finish best of the remainder with today's forecast soft underfoot conditions likely to suit David Pipe's charge.
