Verdict

Not Another Muddle finished fifth in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham after winning at Sandown but this will be his first try over a trip this far and ROMAIN DE SENAM may well keep the Nicholls’ bandwagon rolling. The latter only weakened approaching the last in a Grade 3 over 3m at Kempton last time having justified favouritism earlier at Taunton – he still looks to be on a fair mark. Enjoy Responsibly makes more appeal than Sleep Easy but neither have been in the best of form this season.
