Mcevoy needs about four miles, whilst Water Taxi continues to find one too good, so it is That Look who is taken to complete his hat-trick, Don Cantillon has got his horse in fine form both on the flat and over jumps, and the gelding ran well at Yarmouth last time. He is better over fences though (and hurdles) and with a win here to his name, he is fancied to win now back over fences. Double Mead is very consistent and should be on the scene once again, whilst Kilcrea Asla put in his best performance last time and he looks fairly handicapped. Gardasee has become a bit disappointing but his new yard may get some improvement from him, whilst Oniz Toptoes looks high enough in the weights. Film Festival is unexposed in this sphere and may find some improvement for the longer trip, whilst Seeyaj holds Double Mead on their recent clash but has a 7lb rise in the weights to contend with. A good handicap chase, with the vote going to That Look.
