    Verdict

    The Sawdust Kid who won in impressive fashion at Fontwell last time out will be hard to beat here despite his penalty as he will relish the trip and ground. April Spirit was second over this course and distance last time out behind The Gopher but he will need to improve on that to win this. Watership Down also ran well when second last time out behind Tyne Will Tell there is nothing of that caliber in this field and he should go well. The remainder need to improve to score.
