        In depth

        Verdict

        Shouldhavehadthat, who looks the pick of Nicky Henderson's two runners ahead of Munnings Touch, sets a decent standard having found one too good in each of his two starts so far and has to be respected but Nigel Twiston-Davies has had a phenomenal season with his bumper runners and his runner Carlitos is taken to extend that good run. The selection makes plenty of appeal on pedigree being a son of Hernando out of a winning bumper, hurdles and chase winner and, sure to be fit enough for his debut, he gets the vote to make a winning debut. Colin Tinkler's Chepstow winner Sound Accord may struggle under his penalty, while Supreme Royal is likely to do better once sent chasing over a longer trip. Noel Chance's Moncada Way is another worthy of a mention but Carlitos comes from a yard that can do little wrong with their runner sin this grade and he gets the vote.
