This appears to b a match between SOUPY SOUPS and Thisonetime. The latter has won a bumper and has been placed twice over hurdles on heavy ground. On the most recent occasion he split a pair of horses, who are now rated 118 and 120, having made mistakes and having gone clear three out. He is up in trip and running on much faster ground than he has previously encountered. On these weight terms he is not that far behind SOUPY SOUPS but the topweight is proven at the trip and on similar going. Neil Mullholland's charge was an impressive winner over 3m at Fakenham and the second and fourth have gone on to win since. Three subsequent winners were behind him over this trip at Wincanton prior to that and this race should be well within his reach.
