A chance is taken on FOR GOOD MEASURE who is almost certain to improve dramatically now upped to this sort of trip. He must jump soundly in such a competitive contest but seems to have done so in his two starts so far albeit in smaller fields. Dangers aplenty include last year's winner Cogry with Nigel Twiston-Davies always respected at this meeting. Dell' Arca, West Approach and Doing Fine are also on the shortlist in that order of preference.
