Verdict
Course winner Morestead steps up in trip having scored at Lingfield last month, but Picture In The Sky should have no problems with the distance having scored over 3m1f at Towcester in December. Ballyegan is holding his form well and should be thereabouts again but the nod goes to TIM THE CHAIR. He went very close when third in a blanket finish at Warwick last time and the 10lb claim of Conor Quish should give him the edge over runner-up One More Dinar here. Rateable Value could prove best of the remainder.
