        Verdict

        Paul Nichols has the answer here with Cornish Gale who has been found a soft opportunity to follow up his recent course and distance victory, with only High Rocker expected to provide any danger. The nine-year-old hacked up here six days ago when put back over timber and plenty backed him despite his short odds. He will be equally prohibitive on this occasion but can easily shrug off a penalty to follow up. High Rocker is not one of the leading lights in Martin Pipe's yard but even so looks head and shoulders above the remainder who are just not up to it.
