Scolari Sound, Mac Foiche, Walshes Hill, Ballybee Brewery, Target Harris – they are all there for the first round of the Bresmed Northern Sprint which starts at Sheffield on Tuesday.
The £8,000 category one has attracted a field befitting the status and purse of event. In addition, whoever wins it will almost certainly find their name among the three nominations for the 2016 Sprinter of the Year award.
