Verdict
Gavin Cromwell is a brilliant placer of his horses and CALLTHEBARMAN was sent to Huntingdon to land a very minor race during Cheltenham week. Well supported, the four-year-old is probably capable of better and is only 3lb higher so gets the vote. Babanango showed his first sign of ability when third at Galway in September and the lack of a recent run is rarely a problem for one from his yard. Billy's Angel is making his handicap debut with a big weight as is Visioman, who hasn't shown much in very testing ground. Benny In Milan has won a bumper and scored over hurdles though both victories were on much faster ground than he'll face here.
