Verdict
Whatshallwedo has been in good form over fences but is back over hurdles off a 23lb higher mark than when only third at Southwell in January and SMALIB MONTERG is much preferred. The latter had been running well prior to his victory on soft ground at Uttoxeter and is almost guaranteed to run his race again. Oran Flyer is difficult to predict but Bromhead and Rolanta are only platers and Bazart returns from a spell on the sidelines.
