      Verdict

      A bad blunder at the last put paid to Anytime Will Do’s unbeaten record under Rules at Huntingdon in February but this looks a big ask on his reappearance. Honest Vic edged up the weights last year without winning and Tight Call seems to prefer quicker ground but Skandiburg is a possibility as he is suited by sharp tracks like this. Wicked Willy is a previous course winner who was successful at Kempton when last seen over timber but the vote goes to the less-exposed UMNDENI. Generally progressive last season, he finished behind Honest Vic on his only previous run in a handicap at Ascot in February but failed to give his true running that day.
