Verdict

A tricky contest despite the small field but preference is for NOT THAT FUISSE who stayed on well up the Cheltenham hill last time out suggesting a step up in trip was now warranted and he looks very close to a winning mark especially on his preferred sound surface. Style De Garde makes this a tough task because his form last season would give him a huge chance but he is now a big risk after refusing to race latest. Evan Williams does well here and best of his pair looks to be progressive sort Gwalia.
