Tastes Like More, Red Square Express and Mr Guppy are the three to look at here and Mick Easterby's Red Square Express is given the vote. Len Lungo has a good record in this type of race and any market move for his debutant Mr Guppy should be heeded. The yard are in good form just now-they had a winner at Musselburgh on Sunday, and Mr Guppy can go well. Tastes Like More comes here with point to point experience and was a winner last time just a month ago. The filly hails from a winning jumping family and receives weight from all her rivals so looks a threat. Mick Easterby's Red Square Express was third in a big field on his only outing to date in a Huntingdon bumper in April. The second that day was thought good enough to run in the Cheltenham bumper at the Festival and has gone on to hurdling success since. Red Square Express can outpoint his rivals here.
