Horn Cape could be anything having won a minor contest over 1m4f in France last summer, though the form hasn’t been franked. The unbeaten I Like To Move It also enjoys a weight-for-age allowance but we’ll stick with the proven Listed form of GOOD RISK AT ALL, who has a small penalty but had a bit in hand when scoring at Cheltenham in November. Might I beat a big field at Warwick, despite running green, and should be capable of better while Mucho Mas was impressive at Wincanton on Boxing Day. Autonomous Cloud and Gelino Bello are others to have made winning starts and neither can be ignored.
