Race preview
MINELLA DRAMA struggled in a Grade 2 over fences last time but his previous second in the Old Roan here in October suggests that he could be hard to stop now switched to the smaller obstacles. Bucksy Des Epeires hit the crossbar at Sandown a couple of weeks ago and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Bingoo and Resplendent Grey complete the shortlist.
