Verdict
Sand Blast was no match for last year’s winner Master Workman at Higham last month. The latter is bidding for a fourth course victory so can’t be ignored. One Fine Morning has been in good form between the flags and Bound For Glory exceeded expectations when sixth in the Foxhunters’ at Aintree. Treat Yourself was a good second behind Port Melon at Kempton 12 days ago but Gina Andrews’ mount CAN MESTRET can land an above-average hunter chase. He’s shown a liking for this sharp track in the past and has the beating of some of these on past form.
