Carry On Nando was well beaten when only fifth in this last year and will again be among the outsiders, though none of these have proved easy to predict lately. Its All Or Nothing was pulled up at Cheltenham last week and On Alberts Head suffered a similar fate when favourite for a point-to-point at Cherrybrook last month. PETERBROWN led for a long way before filling third sport at Stafford Cross nine days ago and could have most of these off the bridle if attempting similar front-running tactics this evening.
