Verdict

ONEFITZALL was always travelling well within himself when making a winning debut over timber over this trip at Uttoxeter. He looks a nice prospect and should be just about capable of giving 7lb to the Aintree runner-up Knockgraffon in a race in which it's difficult to look beyond the market leaders. King Kayf and Expedite have shown promise in bumpers so could fight out the minor placings along with Pinnacle Panda.
