Verdict
MORNING REGGIE could hardly have won more easily at Warwick last week and is feasibly still well treated, despite the penalty. He gets the nod to follow up, though this is a far more competitive affair with Owen Na View also arriving in winning form following his defeat of Village Vic over 2m4f here last Saturday. Trickaway may have been a bit unlucky when second at Ludlow last month, though the winner was well beaten at Kelso at the weekend. Kadalkin won a novice event at Doncaster last month but that form should probably be taken with a pinch of salt while Ultragold may have too much weight. Gone Too Far was still beaten 27 lengths when second at Fakenham last time.
