Verdict

This will turn into a real slog and some of the three-year-olds may not get home so Awaywitthegreys, who has already won a bumper and a hurdle, is well worth a second look under Graham Lee. Jim Tango has won over hurdles and fences but isn't very quick so we'll stick with the form horse MASHAARI, despite a disappointing effort over C&D last time. He was forced to make his own running on that occasion and failed to quicken when challenged but Paul Hanagan should be able to keep him covered up this time and compensation awaits. Sash Of Honour isn't improving and is now visored but City Of Canton and White Nile are unexposed and a market move for either would be significant.
