Race preview
Stamina will come to the fore over this marathon trip and with that in mind, the vote goes to ALL ABOUT JOE. The Andrew Hamilton-trained gelding finished a good fourth in the Borders National at Kelso earlier this month and with conditions set to suit the unexposed stayer, he could prove too strong here. Morning Spirit recorded a facile success at Carlisle on his latest outing and he demands the utmost respect, along with Enqarde, who landed the Tommy Whittle here last December. Deise Aba is another to consider.
