Race preview
Since 2011 we've seen four individuals win this race twice and the 2019 scorer DIESEL D'ALLIER could get himself into that bracket on stable debut. The French recruit has been accustomed to making an annual trip to this course and, considering he remains on the same mark as when a gallant fourth at the 2020 Festival, the eight-year-old may be able to land the spoils. Balko Des Flos finished second in the Grand National earlier this year and the Grade 1 winner demands respect, while Freewheelin Dylan is another to consider.
