Verdict

Paul Midgley sent out last year’s winner and Grandad Bob showed a big improvement at Catterick back in April on his first start after wind surgery. But it could pay to stick with RWENEARLYTHEREDAD as he bids for a hat-trick having beaten Bella Kopella over track and trip before going in again at Doncaster. Let's Go Hugo is usually in the mix without winning and cheekpieces are applied while King Of The Jungle remains unexposed though has been done no favours by the draw.
