Verdict
Easy ground would be a worry for Taunton second West End but Aintree runner-up Distime will handle conditions and has only been raised a couple of pounds and makes more appeal than Roseville Cottage, who had every chance when third at Ayr. GREENSALT (NAP) has yet to win a race but has never finished out of the first three and, being a full brother to the smart Raya Star, looks certain to be suited by the switch to fences. He starts off on a potentially decent mark and can get the better of another consistent chasing debutant, Another Mattie, and the others.
