Verdict
If the previous race went to plan, Ben Haslam could be looking at landing a quick double with THE DOORMAN standing out in this. He’s penalised for winning at Carlisle last week but returned an easy nine-length winner and has little to fear from these. Dual bumper winner Oscars Boss finished runner-up at Plumpton before disappointing at Warwick but it’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder unless Charlie's Charm proves better over hurdles than he’s shown so far in bumpers.
