Formscan - Danny McMenamin teamed up with Haveyoumissedme to win a division of this in 2024 and Iain Jardine's eight-year-old looks on a dangerous mark if back to his best, but NIBRAS GOLD could prove the one to beat. Second at Brighton last time, James Owen's charge scored over C&D before that and another bold bid looks on the cards. Spartan Times has a bit to find with the selection, but could still make the frame and is preferred to Loki.
