In depth
Verdict
All For The Cause has begun well in this sphere and can land his first bumper, with That'll Do Nicely perhaps the main danger and Overbranch plus the market the other considerations. The selection may be an obvious one but there is little to go on here and anyway that previous run behind Oscar Gogo plus a pointing win suggest he will have more ability than most of these. Debutante That'll Do Nicely comes from connections who do well in this sphere and any market support is likely to be significant, so watch what the bookies are saying here. Overbranch ran with credit in a similar contest at Market Rasen last time and has some Sedgefield experience inder her belt so she is respected, while the market will again be our best guide to the chances of any others and we take All For The Cause to break his duck under rules.
