Hand Inn Hand gets the vote here over Barito and Scots Grey. The winner was a good third in the Paddy Power Chase before being brought down in the Tripleprint. He can gain compensation. Scots Grey looked useful last season and can go well if fit. Barito hails from a canny stable, as does No Visibility, and the best of Hescondido's form of two years ago brings him right into it. However, Hand Inn Hand gets the vote.
