A few of these have been expensive to follow and it is a difficult task to separate the wheat from the chaff. Audiostreetdotcom and Jacopo are two that have to be considered on the best of their efforts and are closely matched on what they have achieved so far. But it may be worth siding with Irish bumper winner, Roddy The Vet, after his improved effort last time out. The form of his close up fourth to the Noel Chance-trained Chief Witness reads quite well in the context of this race and he will be hard to keep out of the frame if he continues to improve today. Metal Detector has questions to answer with regard to the trip so Oddlydod may give the selection the most to do.
