Oneway is confidently selected to get the better of Argento, Stamporland Hill and Bob's Buster, with Deep Water best watched on his return to the fray. Oneway showed that he is over last season's problems when sluicing home at Worcester on his reappearance, and with Graham Lee on board again, he can follow up. The horse he beat, Colonel Frank, has gone on to win his next two races in fine style, on the latter occasion off a mark of 133 at Sandown, so you have to assume that with a rating here of just 115, Oneway is extremely well treated to say the least. Argento may make a race of it with the selection as he put in an eye catching round on his return here last month, finishing second to Winchester. That form does not entitle him to beat Oneway, but he should be placed at least. Stamporland Hill was a faller in that race but had looked game enough when winning at Carlisle earlier so if his jumping holds up he should get round at least. Bob's Buster has yet to recapture last season's form but is getting there, while Deep Water goes well here, and will no doubt return here late in the season with a better chance. Today though, Oneway stands out and should prove tough to beat off his present mark.
