In depth
Verdict
Mr Guppy, Naughty Diesel and Theatrical Moment are three against the field in this bumper and as usual in these events the market will be very informitive but our narrow nomination is given to Naughty Diesel. The selection is related to winners on the flat and will not have to be anything special to make a winning debut. Mr Guppy has the best form in the book but he looked very onepaced on his last outing and at likely odds looks worth taking on. Theatrical Moment hails from a yard that has a good strike rate in these events and should be nopted in the market. Of the remainder Fencote Mystery showed promise on his debut and is another that is sure to improve but for the winner we return to Naughty Diesel to small stakes.
