Verdict

A low key opener which looks to rest between the front running three time chase winner WHAT HAPPENS NOW, and recent C&D maiden hurdle runner up Strong Resemblance. The former posted an encouraging return to action at Worcester recently, and should be suited by this step up in trip, and assuming that he's over his ailments, he should have enough in hand to hold off the James Moffatt trained six-year-old.
