Verdict
A wide open contest gets proceedings underway, but a chance is taken on Ela d'Argent he is proven on the ground. Has won better races than this and he will be hard to beat with Jamie Moore taking off a handy five pounds. Sonny Jim rates the main danger he is a course and distance winner and he was a fair third behind Charlies Future last time, however his best form is with cut in the ground. Mythical Charm is another who could go well. He was a fair fourth on his hurdling debut and he is sure to improve. Misbehaviour is another that will be suited by the faster ground and he could go well at a fair price off what looks a fair mark. Of the remainder William George is from a shrewd yard and he should be noted in the market.
