This has the potential to be messy, with no guaranteed front runner, and the fact most of these find winning hard only adds to the caution with which the race needs treating. VINO'S CHOICE has been given a real chance by the handicapper on historic form and given he was only beaten a neck over hurdles when last seen out in February, the engine appears intact. He's worth chancing. Plan Of Escape hasn't shown a lot as yet but heavy ground was probably no use to him for either of his chase starts last year and he could do a lot better here. Roll Of Thunder is more likely to run his race than a few and can take a prize home.
