Verdict

THAI VANGO is the call with Oh Pickles and Stravaigin as the alternatives. The Nigel Twiston-Davies charge was backed at all rates prior to his recent run at Towcester. Proven on soft ground, he must have exhibited something at home to warrant that support and we'll take our chances that he can produce it here. Oh Pickles has course form. Both he and Rosie All Over are likely t o have come on for their first run of the season. Stravaigin is exposed as modest. That said, she was in the process of running a solid race at Kelso when capsizing with four to jump. Duke Of Malfi has shaped as if needing a trip and seemed outpaced at Kelso on his most recent start. Teenando has got in off a very light handicap mark and with his stable in form, the market is watched closely. Thai Vango gets the nod.
