SIMPLY THE BETTS was disappointing in an Aintree Listed event last time out but that surely wasn't his true running and his two previous wins suggested he had plenty of potential to continue on an upward curve so he is given another chance here. Sunnytahliateigan is rated as the main danger after an encouraging return at Cheltenham over an inadequate trip and also considered is Big Time Dancer whose latest was an improved effort.
