Danny Whizzbang and Financial Outcome both bring winning form between the flags into this contest and could be anything. Some Operator has also won a point-to-point but dropped away tamely at Chepstow on his debut under Rules. MASTER TRADESMAN sets a decent standard on placed efforts here and at Bangor in the spring. He made his reappearance in a decent handicap at Chepstow and will strip fitter today. Master Card was always struggling to go the pace at Exeter so this longer distance should see him in a better light and he makes most appeal of the others.
