Of the bigger owners, which ones are less likely to send ones to this race?

I can't really remember JP having too many leading hopes in it.

Nope doesn’t really have many aimed at it, however off the top of my head:

Regal Encore favourite in 2013. Came second

Blue Sari was Willies best hope in 2019

Cheers, was wracking my brains trying to remember that horse, I recall the finish between AP and Ruby but forgot the horses' names, now know it was the year Briar Hill won
 
Found a Fifty entered this weekend at Navan for Gordon

I think Bective Stud have a load of horses that could end up here. Found A Fifty definitely one of the more interesting ones though.

Firefox is one I’m really interested to see. Think he could be a good one.

Yanworth ran a decent race
 
I can't imagine Codd made himself many friends on the back of that overconfidence :excitement:

Gordon did say yesterday the Found A Fifty won’t be fully tuned up for today as he had a set back a few weeks back. But still wouldn’t see him as the champion bumper winner even with a lack of fitness that it looked like today
 
No idea if Gordon has said anything regarding Better Days Ahead, but I’m able to cash out Bet365 bets which were greyed out for weeks.

Cheers for this just check and I could cash my bets out including him.
