Verdict
Scotswell made all in this last year but is still 5lb higher and the ground will be much softer today. LOOKSNOWTLIKEBRIAN has only had three runs over fences and won his last two. Reverting to a longer trip will not be a problem for the improving novice, who has travelled a long way for this. Silver Tassie is nicely handicapped on his best form and shouldn’t be far away while Streets Of Promise was well backed at Haydock last month and an earlier third at Chepstow has worked out well. Buffalo Ballet has been knocking on the door in lesser company but his only win came over five years ago while Smuggler's Stash couldn’t cope with another 7lb rise when chasing a hat-trick at Carlisle.
