This was won by the very useful Warne a year ago with BALLYHAMPSHIRE MAN not far behind in second. The latter has been in good form subsequently and doesn't appear to have one of the winner's calibre to deal with this time. He's given the nod as likely market rival Fort George was beaten 15l by Warne in a point-to-point in January. She's Got Grit and Ibetellingyoualie fought out the finish of a novice hunter's event at Tipperary with the former just coming out on top and the pair of them are on the upgrade while the youngster Gullivar has been in good form between the flags over the winter and can only improve.
