Tony Martin took this prize 2 years ago and looks to hold prime claims again with his 4-y-o HAMSIYANN. Progressive in a handful of starts over hurdles last term, he ran his best race yet on the Flat when chasing home his stablemate in the Chester Plate back in May. Unexposed at this trip and appealing as being on a handy mark, he's very much of interest. Last-time-out winners Wonderful Eagle and Major Fortune command respect also, as do Champagne Twist and Long Draw.
