This will probably depend on how good Your Tepee Or Mine is on his racecourse bow for Nicky Henderson who has such a stellar record in these contests. The market should advise but WILLIE GUNN made a satisfactory debut at Market Rasen when beaten by another Henderson inmate in Close Touch and should improve plenty for the run. He is taken to make the most of his experience and go one better. Mumbles Day is an interesting newcomer and the Peter Bowen charge is certainly bred for the job. It will be interesting to see how he goes in the market.
