Verdict

This won't take much winning and Mac Bertie is the only previous course winner in the line-up. Parting Way has only been placed once in five tries over fences but wasn't beaten that far when fifth at Huntingdon in April. Orthodox Lad could figure if fully wound-up but, with the rain falling, PAY YOUR WAY should be in his element and the winning pointer has always looked likely to do well over fences.
