Verdict
Another competitive contest and a chance is taken on No Collusion who was a good second behind Anatar last time. He goes well on the ground and he still looks to be on a fair mark. Brother Joe rates the main danger although he was very disappointing last time and he needs things to go his way to score. However his stable are in good form and he goes well on the ground. See You Sometime was well beaten at Cheltenham last time out however this looks easier but his best form has come with more cut in the ground. Nickel Sun was a fair third behind Miss Cool last time out and with the Sue Smith horses still in top form he is worth a cautionary look in the market. Of the remainder Arabian Moon is a course and distance winner and the booking of Mick Fitzgerald catches the eye.
