Verdict

Peaceful Means makes a swift reappearance after finishing second at Hereford on Sunday and should be thereabouts again. But this looks a competitive contest for the track with Ben Cee Pee M looking to defy a penalty for his win in a novices' handicap at Ludlow last week. BIG ROBERT also collected 7lb extra after beating Hadron Collider by 10 lengths over C&D eight days ago. Matt Sheppard's charge was always travelling best that day and came readily clear of his rivals up the home straight. He still looks well treated on the pick of his form in Ireland and can fend off progressive maiden Reginaldinho.
