What's Up Doc has been in regular action on Polytrack this year but returned to jumping with a good run over fences at Uttoxeter. He looks certain to go well but may meet his match in AGENTE ROMANO. Evan Williams' charge won a maiden hurdle on very fast ground at Taunton last year and has mainly been operating over the bigger obstacles on ground softer than he likes. The Good Guy is consistent enough but almost certainly needs further and while none of the remaining trio can be dismissed they all need to raise their game.
