He's obvious, but that chance of DOING FINE is outstanding and the handicapper would give him another 8lb to carry if he could. Everything looks in place for a big run and if avoiding the traffic as he makes his way through the field, will take plenty of beating. Whats Happening is on a good mark if you forgive his run in the Kim Muir and may bounce back. The Young Master gives Neil Mulholland a strong hand here, along with the frustrating-yet-talented The Druids Nephew, and they are both capable of picking some prizes up. Another good run from Just A Par wouldn't surprise.
