PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
A DECENT EXCUSE returns in his bid to win this race for the second consecutive year and connections have every reason to be confident in his chances of doing so, having had a number of his potential rivals, such as former champion pointer Ourmanmassini, and eight-time winner Eddies Miracle, behind him on that occasion. The Sam Curling pairing of After Eight Sivola and Longhouse Music are both last time out winners, with the returning Art Of Logistics another capable individual, who spend last season on the sidelines.
