Verdict

A dual C&D winner last season, HAAFAPIECE produced his best effort of the current campaign when runner-up at Fakenham last time and he can go one better from 8 lb below his last winning mark. Heading the list of dangers is Ladronne, who has been thriving over fences of late, while Pyramid Place can also give another good account.
