Verdict
Master Carpenter is a fascinating entry as his last 10 outings have all come in Group company, including a success over 1m1f in Chantilly in May 2014. He's found life really tough since but has to be a key player reverting to handicap company despite conceding weight all round. Latest evidence indicates Two For Two is the likeliest of the O'Meara pair but SOUND ADVICE comes here in good form after hunting up a couple of progressive sorts at Haydock last time. He landed the Thirsk Hunt Cup earlier in the season, is a course and distance winner and loves to bounce off quick ground. Off Art, Tournament and old favourite Dubai Dynamo also have a chance in a competitive handicap.
