It is hard to make a case for most of these. Trehan Cross may improve for the longer trip but the ground may be too lively for her. Jack Snipe and The Last Bridge were winners last time but the form is questionable. Jack Snipe beat a horse who has been well beaten since and a 12lb rise looks harsh. The Last Bridge will find conditions here a lot quicker than when ploughing through bad ground to beat one other finisher at Warwick. With these doubts in mind it should pay to side with the topweight MISTER DICK. His yard are in excellent form and things were not going so well for them when he was last seen. A comfortable win here over 2m6f suggests he may be well treated and, if staying this longer trip, the race is his for the taking.
