One Of Us has never raced over a trip this far but hasn't been stopping in his last two starts over 3m1f at Wincanton. Steel Native is only 2lb higher than his victory at Bangor though his form is on ground with plenty of give but Plantagenet was in excellent form before finding the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham much too tough and he's back in his correct grade. Sandhurst Lad was tiring when scoring over 3m1f at Wincanton so this trip may prove too much for him but DANCING SHADOW (NAP) will relish the task having finished runner-up over the course and distance in February. He's also won a Class 2 over 4m1f at Musselburgh and can outstay these. The Happy Chappy will enjoy the conditions and the trip shouldn't be a problem so he can get into contention.
