Won last year by the brilliant Master Minded, this year’s renewal of the Victor Chandler doesn’t quite have that sort of star power but looks a fascinating race nonetheless and with Cheltenham looming ever nearer on the horizon, Saturday’s big race should give us some all important pointers for the Festival in eight weeks time.
