Leading the way in the Albert Bartlett betting is High Class Hero, who won three times over hurdles during the summer and returned to action with another victory at Thurles in January.

Harry Fry's Gidleigh Park and Paul Nicholls' Captain Teague are also entered in the Baring Bingham, but both could be better suited by this longer trip.
