In depth
Verdict
Oneupmanship was no match for the impressive subsequent winner Metier at Newton Abbot but should have come on a bundle for the experience. Winning chaser Another Crick has a lengthy absence to overcome but could figure if fully wound-up. Cafe Pushkin has scope but LORD OF KERAK has come up against useful novices in his two runs to date and can make in third-time lucky.
