Verdict
SOUPY SOUPS was a decisive winner at Wincanton earlier this week and should have no problems with the longer trip. He can defy a penalty as he’s the only one of these to arrive with worthwhile recent form. Another Wincanton winner, Milan Of Crystal, is back over hurdles after a modest run over fences so could make the frame. Daliance has won twice around here but turned in a shocker last time at Exeter and none of the others distinguished themselves on their latest starts.
