In depth
Verdict
Mister Watson ran very well when runner-up at Sandown in February but stopped very quickly once headed at Carlisle next time when odds-on. NOBLE SAVAGE has had just the two runs over hurdles so far and only weakened approaching the last at Newton Abbot earlier this month. He may handle condition better than obvious form pick Sopran Thor, who is now 0-8. Without A Doubt needed the experience at Exeter with Galan Des Planches preferred to Baron Nelson of the two Henderson runners.
