Verdict
ALDOPICGROS scored over 2m here before landing a handicap at Newbury last month. He has little to fear from today's opposition on these terms and Paul Nicholl's charge will likely start a short-price. Bow Quest beat Lily Mars easily enough when second at Fontwell though never looked like troubling the winner and Webbswood may prove a bigger threat on only his second start over timber. Presenting The Way is another expected to finish closer having returned from a lay-off at Warwick last month.
