PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
SOME MAN won no fewer than seven races last season on his way to being crowned champion point-to-point horse and undoubtedly sets the standard in the division. Gordon Elliott won this race last year with Out Sam, the outsider of his two runners in the 2021 renewal, and in Its All Guesswork and the former Grade 1 winner Hardline he has two very interesting contenders this time around, whilst Visioman claimed some notable scalps when winning twice late last season and should not be dismissed lightly.
