As usual the market should be a decent guide to the chances of these bumper horses. Before The Mast has the best racecourse form on offer with the form of his second place at Sandown last season working out well. The ground should suit and he is the TEAMtalk selection. Charlie Kennet had been running well before running poorly at Ludlow a fortnight ago. If he can put that run behind him he has every chance. The Pennys Dropped ran well on his only appearance last season in a good race at Newbury. If he has progressed over the summer he has every chance of improving on that effort. Desmond Tutu won at Fontwell on his only appearance last season and is expected to progress if handling this easier surface.
