One Style has plenty to prove at present and may need more help from the handicapper. Mac Tottie had more than two lengths to spare over Caltex at Market Rasen last time and is only a pound worse off. No Getaway was second on his chasing bow at Market Rasen but failed to run up to that form subsequently at Newbury, though still has time on his side. MISTER MURCHAN jumped well and stayed on strongly at Wincanton to record a second win in four starts over the larger obstacles. He clearly gets on well with claimer Niall Houlihan, who keeps the partnership intact, and he’s already run well around here this term. Doitforthevillage is another with recent form at the track, though he isn’t getting younger.
