Verdict

Gary Moore's SANGIOVESE appeals as the sort to keep on improving now sent into handicaps and can make light of 7 lb rise for his emphatic Southwell success. Olly Murphy's Huntingdon victor Bitsnbuckles also has better days ahead of him and rates the obvious threat with C&D winner Bobalot and handicap debutant How And Ever in the mix too in an intriguing contest.

  1. SANGIOVESE
  2. BITSNBUCKLES (IRE)
