Verdict
Pens Man initiated a double with a narrow victory here in September and though running poorly on his hat-trick attempt at Exeter that wasn't his form. Zuckerberg had a successful career in France but hasn't won for new connections and still looks a few pounds high. Guetapan Collonges completed a double over hurdles in the spring and wasn't suited by the sharp track at Stratford on his chasing debut but a chance is taken with ANYWAYYOULOOKATIT. Jonjo O'Neill's charge has been racing in better company and his three best runs over fences have come on this track including a victory on good ground in August last year. Rostello is 0-17 but didn't run badly here last month.
