A competitive contest in which TROUBLETIMESTWO can prevail off the bottom rung after coming right back to form for the first time in over a year when a brave second at Ludlow last time. His stable is going really nicely at present and he makes plenty of appeal off this mark. Devon Native needs good ground to be effective and is an obvious threat while the consistent Prince Of Denial remains on a fair mark and looks sure to run another sound race. Points Of View has shown little since rattling up a hat-trick last autumn but would be a threat to all if rediscovering his spark, likewise Pipe Banner who is being persevered with by the Henderson team.
