Verdict
Won More Night scored over a longer trip at Market Rasen last month but found only one too good over today's distance at Chepstow last time and should figure again. Perfectus produced a better effort at Catterick recently but Whaston has failed to build on his promising third to Sheriff Hall back in November and the vote goes to THE TIDDLY TADPOLE. His four starts over hurdles have all been in better company and he just failed to catch The Quantum Kid at Southwell three weeks ago. A repeat of that should see Simon West's charge off the mark here.
