Verdict

Cameron Bridge comes here in preference to Wincanton, but has no easy task under top weight, while the ground may be too soft for Happy Change. Simply The One wouldn't appear that well handicapped on what he has achieved to date, but he is open to improvement and comes from a yard in fine form. Chasing debutante The Tall Guy doesn't face a difficult task on his debut over the larger obstacles and should go well, but the vote goes to Keep Smiling, who impressed when winning at Bangor. He will find this easier than the company he kept at Cheltenham and he is taken to get back to winning ways.
