Verdict
A smallish field for this opening bumper but still an interesting race. MY MATE AJ shaped encouragingly on his debut and gets the vote, although strong market support for Paul Nicholls newcomer Le Cold Grey would put a slightly different slant on things. Irish point recruit Itsinthename would also firmly enter the reckoning should the betting speak in his favour.
