PETER THE MAYO MAN has a penalty to overcome but the easy Worcester winner is impossible to oppose if in the same mood as he faces modest opposition here. What A Diva didn't have the pace to win a bumper and may need to step up in trip. Points winner Accord may also find this too short but Royal Mandate is worth a market check. Dan Skelton's four-year-old is seeing a racecourse for the first time but all of his dam's previous offspring have won races and he's a half-brother to Grade 1-winning hurdler Hollow Tree.
