Jonjo O’Neill is the trainer to follow here having won the race five times.
Four of those wins have come in the last nine runnings, and the master of Jackdaws' Castle is sure to have one laid out to run a big race.
*Champion trainer Paul Nicholls has just one placed from 13 starters and nine of them were heavily backed and in the first five in the betting.
*Seven of the last nine winners have finished first or second on their most recent start, whilst 25 out of the last 27 victors have finished in the first four.
*Native Emperor (5-1) in 2004 is the only favoruite to score since 1992.
