This is easily ELEAZAR's toughest task to date in this sphere but Lucy Wadham's 10-year-old looks one to follow judged on his defeat of the useful Dante's Storm at Uttoxeter and is fancied to complete his hat-trick. Templer stays well and got the better of The General Lee at Cheltenham earlier this month. He was second in this last year when finishing ahead of 2009 winner Southwestern. Aggie's Lad beat a subsequent winner at Aintree three weeks ago and is another with claims, but Herons Well's confidence may have been affected by mishaps at Cheltenham and Aintree and Mister Apple's is probably a better bet over this extended trip. Turko was a class act a couple of years ago but has gone downhill since.
