Verdict

The pick of Paul Townend, useful prospect HE'S ON FIRE can enhance Willie Mullins' excellent recent record in this race. I Started A Joke has proved highly progressive in handicaps and looks interesting pitched into graded company over a longer trip, while 2½m may prove the sweet spot for Love Me Tender, who looked exciting earlier in the season.
