Verdict
Cornborough beat Mighty Missile less than a length at Bangor and may struggle to confirm that form on today's revised terms but a back-to-form Don Padeja is fancied to confirm Warwick running with Honey Pound and Minellaforleisure, who had every chance when falling at the same track last month. GREAT HALL caught the eye over 2m4f here last month and has been dropped 3lb since. He's unexposed over hurdles so may have more to offer. Bangor winner Samtu will need to step up again to follow up but One For The Guv'nr could go well given he has an excellent strike rate and is eased in grade.
