Not the strongest of races and MORE LIKE IT can land the spoils at the expense of Dobravany and Mister Fizzbomb. Peter Niven is a good placer of his limited bloodstock and More Like It is 5lb better off with Dobravany for his beating at Market Rasen. The fast ground represents no problem. All credit to Dobravany for that success though he has been found out in selling company previously. Mister Fizzbomb hasn't sparkled for some time but has been kept ticking over on the flat. Evelith Regent has been tried in much better grade than this though joined current connections for buttons. Humourous has a decent rider in the context of this race though the drop in trip doesn't seem an obvious move from what we have seen thus far. Sea Cove is proven over trip and going but we would have liked to have seen her on the racecourse before making a punting decision. More Like It holds the best credentials.
