Verdict

HAVINGOTASCOOBYDO won twice over hurdles last season but has always looked a chaser in the making. He is given the chance to make his mark over the larger obstacles today and, if his jumping holds up, should be too strong for the one-paced Schumpters Lad. Milgen Bay has possibilities, however, and Mark Twain is lightly-raced and, as a four-year-old, receives all the allowances. Cresswell Bramble could find this company too hot while Temple Lord is probably best watched on his first run for two years.
