A difficult race to solve with a number of characters in the field. Flat Top is likely to start favourite and is given the tentative nod. He isn't over-big and has the tendency to clout the odd fence but if the jumping holds together, he is still the class act in the field despite advancing years. Impertio possesses ability but has a mind of his own about the game. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that he will take this race but he is far from one to trust implicitly. Roman Outlaw finally put his best foot forward at Newcastle last time out. He does tend to jump sketchily though and the fences are fairly unforgiving at Wetherby. Mr Mahdlo would ideally need it bottomless. Grand Gousier appears better suited by faster ground although he has managed a place at Kempton on a softer surface. Three miles seems to the bare minimum for Cedar Green these days and he is opposed.
