One For Me has as good a chance as any in the finale, with Periwinkle Lad and Forest Ivory holding claims as well. One For Me popped in at 20-1 here the time before last, handling the fast ground despite connections rating him better with more give. He did not run too badly at Hereford afterwards, showing that his victory was not entirely a fluke. This is not a strong contest, and he might oblige again. Periwinkle Lad has to give him weight and was beaten a distance on his British debut at Plumpton. However, he was good enough to win three times over hurdles in Ireland and when his jumping improves he will pay to follow over fences. Forest Ivory has had plenty of chances but is well handicapped on form of old. Other than that there is not a great deal to recommend him, and One For Me makes more appeal. Just one more thing-bets are best kept to the absolute minimum.
