This looks to be a good opportunity for the consistent Another Dude to expand upon his improving profile as he faces some fairly moderate opposition. He acted well at the track last time out but simply met one too good on that occasion. The step up in trip should not be a problem for him and he faces nothing of the ability of Laouen today. High Peak, who was nine lengths adrift of Another Dude at Catterick last November, can help ensure a true test of stamina unfolds. But he lacks a turn of foot and may have to settle for a minor role again today. No Picnic put in a much improved effort last time and will be interesting if he is supported on course. Paul Robinson is an eye-catching jockey booking for Sue Bradburne's charge and he is taken as the best of the rest.
