We had the drama of GDC falling at the last and a few on here cheering on whoever it was that finished 2nd after backing them days before under antepost rules at stupid odds.
Samcro Vs Melon Vs Faugheen was a great race.
Mighty Potter Vs Appreciate It and Stage Star bossing them from the front.
Last year was decent with the Nicholls Vs Skelton race and Facile Vega bombing out.
I do think though that making it a handicap won't do it any harm. Willie can cry all he wants but most years he just threw in whoever failed over shorter and further. He very rarely targeted one of his best at the race and he's only moaning this year because it would have suited two of his best. If it would have been removed last year, you wouldn't have heard much dissent from him.
Most winners of it have ended up being disappointing in open company so it wasn't really much of a grade 1 when looking at future prospects.
