Verdict
SEVENTEEN O FOUR, a dual Flat winner, has looked a few pounds high since landing a novices' race at Chepstow though this looks a good opportunity. He should have no problems seeing off Rossbeigh Strand, whom he beat just over two lengths at Chepstow, while course and distance winner John Betjeman ran very poorly at Newbury last time. Good Impression completed a double in Class 5 handicaps in January before jumping moderately at Ludlow but Voodoo Doll is better over further.
