The axing of the intermediate-distance novice chase means the field should, in theory, contain horses that lack the speed for the Arkle and 19 fences over 3m½f on the Old Course will await them.
Fact To File blitzed his rivals to land last season’s renewal and a stack of talented horses including stablemate Ballyburn will hope to follow in his hooves.
