In depth

Verdict

Roman Knows and Vivid Luminosity have placed over a shorter trip at Huntingdon though it was good going on both occasions and the former was still well beaten. Point-to-point winner Ozzie Man ran well for a long way in a bumper on the all-weather last week while BARROWMOUNT finished third over course and distance last month on his debut for Seamus Mullins. He gets the vote with normal progress while Cigarettesnalcohol, a half-brother to a bumper and hurdles winner, is a newcomer to note.
