Foggy's Wall doesn't look to be one of his powerful yard's best prospects but is still respected here after a couple of fair efforts. THE STOUT ITALIAN was well backed on his debut at Worcester in May but probably needed the experience and was beaten 10 lengths. The winner, however, has defied a penalty at Aintree since so the form look solid and Ben de Haan's charge can go one better today. God's Own has been placed in a point-to-point but newcomers George An Ri and Who's Jeff are just as interesting in this.
