Verdict

At level weights given the rating that he has obtained already this should be an easy task for AYE AYE CHARLIE who was campaigned at the top level last year and ran with a great deal of credit despite not gaining a win. This looks far easier and he’s already run well around here in a far better contest. Several of the others are going to need time and distance although dual bumper winner Stoney Mountain looks a useful hurdles recruit while it won’t be a surprise to see more from Present Ranger after his wind op hailing from the Skelton yard that recently compiled the quickest ever 100 winners under the jumps code.
