Unless the market speaks loudly for the chances of Rodeo Dodo today, this looks between the two horses that have the form in the bank already. Preference, getting 6lb from Top Ville Ben , is for RESOLUTION BAY, who needs to just tidy his jumping up a bit but holds a sold chance on his Exeter win. Top Ville Ben looks beatable under the double penalty and may have to settle for the runner-up spot again. Bolving would be interesting on bumper form as well.
