Verdict
Cunning Pursuit could be the answer to this tricky contest with Fizzy Lady, Dancing Tilly and Piste Bleu put forward as the main dangers. The selection won well last time when beating Lenwade at Folkestone. He landed a gamble that day and with Keiren Fallon taking over in the saddle he looks to have a great chance of going in again.
