Chris Gordon and Gary Moore are usually the trainers to watch around here and they are likely to be battling for honours in this. The former saddles recent Plumpton scorer Seaweed who showed the benefit of his trainer's schooling with a more polished round of jumping. On this occasion the concession of weight to CASSIVELLAUNUS may prove too much. The selection showed improved form when dropped back to his winning mark last time and the booking of Richard Patrick looks significant. Glimpse Of Gold was poor last time but, despite representing a yard with a good record in this race, Druid's Folly may prove a bigger threat.
