Race preview
Captain Guy Disney has a tremendous record in these contests and himself and his willing partner RATHLIN ROSE will attempt to defend the prize they won last season. They warmed up for this by landing a similar contest over course and distance last month and they appear to hold leading claims once again. Fergal O'Brien has taken this twice in the last four years and his Winter Lion seems sure to run well, while Midnight Monty and Baden have both been hitting the frame of late and are capable of making their presence felt.
