Verdict
Manofthemountain was entered at Cheltenham yesterday and would likely be an absentee here if taking up that engagement so this could be another for the Nicholls team as WORTHY FARM was twice successful over a fraction shorter here last season before making mistakes when a distant second on his final start at Doncaster. It’s a long time since Step Back has shown any worthwhile form and Beau Du Brizais may be in need of a confidence-booster after a heavy fall at Warwick.
