Verdict

If we forgive Two For Joy his fall at Fakenham last time, you'd have to feel that he must go close in a competitive opening event. Prior to his recent fall he had been outclassed in smart company but had previously looked good in this grade at Towcester. The stable of Charlie Egerton must always be respected on visits to the A1 course and Two For Joy should give a good account of himself. Be My Dream and Best Available both have sound credentials and should be thereabouts but principal danger could prove to be Hachty Boy who has been keeping good company and should have conditions to suit.
