No Planning's fitness is guaranteed and Sue Smith's stable is already in good form. Donald McCain's Boruler is respected as he'll have had plenty of schooling and Balding Banker has the scope to make his mark over the larger obstacles and has joined Ferdy Murphy after leaving Paul Nicholls. The mare Doynosaur also warrants a second look but Sean Airgead might struggle to concede weight to less exposed rivals and Papamoa may need this. RICK was the best of these over timber and has travelled up from John Ferguson's Suffolk yard. This may be on the sharp side but his class can see him home in front.
