GOOD BOY BOBBY saddles a double penalty here, he's proved in the ground and entitled to take some beating. Nigel Twiston-Davies' horse was most impressive in landing a Chepstow double but it's his third place behind subsequent Champion Bumper fourth Acey Milan which offers most encouragement. Up To No Good has plenty to find on a line through Morning Vicar, but could improve markedly for a fair debut. He's a threat under Richard Johnson. The other four are all debutants from shrewd yards so a cautionary check of the betting is required, but it'll take a smart one to beat the favourite - even in receipt of weight.
