Verdict
Tim Vaughan has his horses in fine form so OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL, who made a solid debut effort over fences at Market Rasen, is given the vote as there looks plenty more to come. Ginger's Lad likes the ground and a 7lb penalty for last week's victory at Southwell shouldn't cause too many problems while Red Dynamite has the form to be competitive, though a long absence is a concern. Bob Will jumped well to beat three rivals here earlier this month and the handicapper has been easy on him with just 2lb extra but Global Flyer may just be a couple of pounds high in the weights.
