Race preview
Although MAJOR JUMBO has endured a tough campaign, he returns to a course he thrives at and appears to be off an appealing mark. With Oisin McSweeney taking off an extra 7lb, the Kevin Ryan-trained gelding gets the nod to return to form, despite not getting his head in front for two years. Lihou has been a consistent customer this term and the five-year-old demands the utmost respect, while Out The Hat completes the shortlist.
