Formscan  - Nicky Henderson has an excellent record in this contest and he could have another exciting newcomer on his hands in the shape of SOOMAROY, an easy point-to-point winner in March, who was purchased for 190,000 pounds at the Aintree Goffs sale. The selection was given a positive mention in a recent stable tour and he is preferred to Military Alliance, who had a couple of winners behind when scoring on his first start for new connections at Hereford in April. Arriving here on a four-timer, Trustintimes is entitled to be thereabouts, as well as recent Exeter winner Start Again.
