Verdict
Full Throttle will likely start a short-priced favourite for this after winning easily over 3m at Southwell two weeks ago. But MAN OF STEEL gave him weight and a beating in a bumper at Uttoxeter last year and most of runs over hurdles have been against decent opposition. He was made favourite for a handicap at Aintree last month so it might be too soon to give up on Peter Bowen's five-year-old, who now wears a visor. None of the others make much appeal as the unexposed Powermaker is returning from a lengthy absence.
