Ammunition was a shade unlucky to unseat last time and can gain compensation here at the main expense of Supreme Cara and Olay Olay. Carl Llewellyn's gelding won over a similar trip to this at Towcester in November and was going well at Folkestone next time when he was hampered and parted company with A P McCoy. Timmy Murphy is back on board today and he can gain compensation. Supreme Cara gets the sex allowance and she has shown some decent form, relishes cut, and will see out every yard here. She could go very well but her yard's form is not red hot so she is opposed today. Olay Olay jumped for fun until coming down at Becher's when tried over the Grand National fences last time and provided there are no mental scars he looks capable of being competitive again here and he does handle cut. Premiership was thrashed on his chase debut last time after a lengthy absence but if he is fitter for that run then he will have trip and ground to suit, so could be thereabouts but Ammunition can outgun them all.
