Verdict

Yet another race where Martin Pipe has the prize virtually sewn up before the off and anything that finished in front of Simoun will undoubtedly win here. However, with all due respect, Oh So Brave, Springbrook Girl and Cantoris have a mountain to climb on the official figures for the race and support for any of them if for the very brave only. In contrast, Six Of One has gone well in good company this season and should be able to pay his traveling expenses as the best of the rest in this company. However, he will have to go some to get anywhere near Simoun, who posted a timely reminder of his ability in a Listed race at Aintree earlier in the month and need only run to that level to score here.
