A re-run of last month's 2m4f contest with the 1-2-3-4 of Orioninverness, Under The Red Sky, Verko and Trouble In Paris all present and correct. The winner looks comfortably the most straightforward of that 'bunch' and a subsequent 6lb rise looks of little real concern now that his jumping errors have been seemingly eradicated. However, the presence of HATTONS HILL is a major obstacle for Orioninverness to overcome, with the Henry Hoggarth trained dual C&D winner proving a revelation since fitted with cheek-pieces, and he's a confident selection despite the big field which is rather padded out with four runners from the Micky Hammond yard.
