A modest contest at best and one that makes for an unappealing betting medium. Course winner Lots Of Luck might have been brought out again too quickly when his jumping rather fell apart at Huntingdon last time and if he can hold that side of things together he has to be shortlisted. Winner of this for the past two years Royal Act is another to note given his record although his old jumping problems did resurface last time. Marley Firth can be given a modest chance on some of his form he was on the backfoot from the start last time. TEMPLIER comes here off a fall but his two previous runs indicated that he’s in good heart and he’s tentative suggestion to return to winning ways.
