Verdict

WHATSHALLWEDO looked a much improved performer when scoring on his chasing debut and return to action at Bangor a week ago. Tim Vaughan's charge should be able to translate that form back to the smaller obstacles and gets the nod to follow up. Owner Occupier and Rosoff are similar in that both were placed over longer trips at this track last time. The latter finished third in better company, however, and is fancied to come out best of that pair today as he also had today's rivals Maria Deja La and Minella Mistake well behind.
