Not the strongest of events and Royal Snoopy is more than capable of winning, but he is not one to rely on. Cedar Square a useful chaser at best, has gone over two years without getting his head in front and ic clearly on the downgrade. Winning Irish chaser Joyce Bel, will be more at home over this trip and could well be the danger to Audacter, who needed the run behind Grate Deel at Market Rasen. He will strip fitter here and can also run off a 3lb lower mark.
