Signposts: Course specialist looks sure to go well again

Cup Final won the 4.10 at Musselburgh last year and bids to give his trainer, Nicky Henderson, a third win in the race. The eight-year-old defied a layoff of 428 days in last year's renewal so looks set to go well after a break of 283 days.

Hint Of Mint took his record to three from five at Taunton with a narrow success at the venue last time. The gelding has recorded improved RPRs for his last two efforts and can make it four course-and-distance wins in the 2.50.
