Despite the size of the field there doesn’t look to be much strength in depth in this closing bumper and the fact that Noel’s Boy has already had a wind op and is equipped with plenty of aids on his Rules debut means he should be handled with care. Echo Du Large is now hooded for the first-time after what looked to be a promising debut but preference is for likely market leader BELFAST BANTER in a race that has gone the way of the favourite for the last three years. Dan Skelton’s charge looked to just need the experience on debut at Market Rasen and will know more this time. Of those at bigger prices Shantou Sunset and Smartmandarcy make most appeal for the future.
