Verdict
Mister Mister was the beneficiary when the clear leader fell at the last at Taunton in November but it was a better effort from him nonetheless and he can race off the same mark. But BELMONT PARK makes more appeal having run well for a long way until running out of steam over a longer trip here last month. He had found only one too good off a higher mark at Towcester before that and gets the vote. Don Des Fosses has failed to improve on his second at Sedgefield while Howlongisafoot recorded his course and distance success way back in 2015.
