Tony Martin has won this race twice in the last 10 years and might be able to strike in it again courtesy of PRALOGNAN, who looked to have a bit up his sleeve when scoring on AW at Newcastle 5 weeks ago. Miss Gitana is an obvious threat for Gordon Elliot after a Flat win and hurdle second last month. Empress Alma and Preparations are also shortlisted in this wide-open finale.
