There are some progressive types in this and the feeling is that there are a few who can improve on what they have already done. Beer Googles will need to remain on his upward curve facing possibly his toughest test yet but has a very good claimer on board taking 5lb off and he must be respected. Phillip Hobbs is a trainer who should always be looked out for in Pertemps qualifiers and his Louis’ Vac Pouch could well come on for his Chepstow run despite not being a certain stayer at this 3m trip. If the blinkers on Holly Bush Henry he would come into the mix although Bon Chic faces a tougher task to follow-up off a 9lb higher mark and running from out the handicap. Winning Try is certainly capable of showing more than he did on his debut and he still resides on a dangerous mark but the suggestion is FORZA MILAN. He showed plenty of promise on his reappearance and would be a fitting winner at Aintree as he’s a full brother to Grand National winner One For Arthur who is sadly sidelined for the season.
