Verdict

Last year’s winner Gauvain continues to keep the years at bay and has won all three starts in point-to-points this year. Dont Do Mondays won a handicap here last year but only had two rivals when successful last month at Charing and is held by Bound For Glory on their run together in a Ladies Open back in November. Never Complain has never won under Rules in this country but did win an Open at Mollington earlier this month by six lengths. AMIGO is a bit of a character but only found course specialist Master Workman too good at Fakenham last time and is fancied to go one better.
