Verdict
Henry Hook made all for a comprehensive victory at Taunton last week but a 7lb penalty puts him on his highest-ever mark. Sinbad The Sailor was having only his second start over timber when landing a Ludlow maiden but with plenty of winning form on the Flat behind him his inexperience may not be too much of a problem on his handicap debut. Legion D'Honneur has done well since being stepped up in trip and followed his Huntingdon victory with a fine effort behind Firm Order over 2m4f here. He looks sure to give a good account but it's HAVINGOTASCOOBYDO who gets the vote as this point-to-point and bumper winner has taken well to hurdles and a 7lb penalty for his victory at Ludlow doesn't look enough to prevent a quick double.
