More than a quarter of this field are trained in Ireland. Go Another One won’t be fazed by a switch back to hurdles and, despite top weight, may prove the pick of the quartet. Seddon has only raced over this trip once before and was pulled up but Ratfacemcdougall is a dour stayer who will gallop all the way to the line and he is 2-2 around here. SAINT SONNET came right to form at Wincanton and this looks his trip nowadays so he can get the better of Wakool, who has having a fantastic season and has already won twice here. Brorson has won his last two in effortless fashion but the handicapper has reacted and raised him 13lb so he may struggle to complete the hat-trick. Last year’s winner Taxmeifyoucan ran only three days ago and remains out of sorts.
