      Verdict

      Providing the selection does the business in the opener, Tim Vaughan could easily notch a quick double in this with WHATSHALLWEDO. He was a 12-length winner over C&D last week and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent a follow-up against modest opposition. Stablemate Hazeldene lacks a recent run while Ouest Eclair hasn't shown much aptitude for jumping fences so far. Behindcloseddoors unseated his rider behind the selection last time but, unlike veteran C&D winner Kit Carson, does at least have a bit of scope.
