Verdict
Anti Cool finished three lengths ahead of False Accusation at Taunton last month, despite being hampered. Boy In A Bentley only found one too good when favourite at Market Rasen last month but Triggitas pulled hard when well beaten on his debut at Plumpton and Katiebyrne weakened quickly at Fakenham. It would be no surprise if a couple of newcomers fought out the finish of this with the Oscar gelding DIVINE SPEAR, a half-brother to winning hurdler River Deep, getting the nod ahead of the nicely-bred The Bank Manager.
