Lost his unbeaten record in Grade 2 novices contest last time at Warwick, will handle conditions and more than capable of getting back on track in these calmer waters assuming the trip isn't a concern.
Has ability, as shown when went close in C&D novice last month, may be best to forgive a tame effort when pulled up here since and chance if first-time cheekpieces have desired effect.
Connections have remained patient with him, and second start under rules at Ludlow suggests he'll repay some of that faith. Finished less than 2L second over 3m on soft ground latest, could have more to offer.
Changed hands for £65,000 following a winning point-to-point debut but only modest in Warwick bumper (2m, soft) and Hereford maiden hurdle (2m5½f, soft) thus far. More called for.
Forecasts
Chooseyourweapon (1/1), This Is It (9/4), Kilfilum Cross (7/2), Rambling Rector (12/1)
CHOOSEYOURWEAPON began his career with a couple of wins here over shorter trip and wasn't disgraced since in a Warwick Grade 2. This longer trip should be fine and, despite conceding weight to three rivals, he remains the most likely winner. Kilfilum Cross has shown a liking for this sort of test when second at Ludlow last month and is the danger while This Is It has gone well here before and could bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.
