This looks a good opportunity for EXIT TO WHERE to finally break his maiden. He was in second place when he unseated his ride at the last fence at Kelso on his latest start and with a clean round of jumping here, he can get his nose in front. Sporting Press is very capable over fences and he should be in the mix at the finish over this distance which he has been successful at, while C&D winner Graystown can hit the frame from this mark on his return to this course.
