In depth
Verdict
It could pay to stick with DUNOWEN POINT in this as Donald McCain's charge has won three of his four starts over fences and was narrowly beaten on the other occasion. He's taken to confirm latest running over these fences with Lease Lend and go in again. Sue Smith has won two of the last four renewals and Gansey arrives with every chance but recent Towcester winner L'Eldorado and Whats Up Woody both face tougher tasks stepping up in class. Niceonefrankie is another taking on better company after a placed effort at Kempton but could still prove best of the remainder.
