Verdict
Twasn't The Plan and Kapsize have form chances but both were due to run at Stratford on Sunday. Joly Maker seems to make life hard for himself but managed to land the spoils at Huntingdon last time from an unpromising position. He's far from easy but wins in his turn and gets on well with William Marshall. Catch The Cuban seemed enlivened by the move to fences last time with a much-improved effort and has a good claim if building on that here, whilst Between The Waters has place claims. The selection though is TANRUDY, who houses a consistent record over fences, has run more than creditably the last twice and Tom Buckley claims a handy 5lb.
