Several of these, including the likes of Times Past, Win The Toss and Mr Mighty have shown signs of ability but it will be a surprise if this does not go Route One, who gets a confident vote. The selection already has winning form over regulation fences having beaten a decent field at Ascot last month and, although finding Alpha Romana too good at Cheltenham last time, a reproduction of that previous effort should suffice. Times Past, a Navan bumper winner, and recent point-to-point winner Win The Toss look the best of the opposition but this is a poor contest and should go to the selection.
