A chance is taken that Mister Incredible can confirm the form with Radiator Rooney, while Pauvic and Garstang are others with solid claims at this level. The last named has really held his form well since the turn of the year and is still feasibly well treated. He was well beaten by the selection when they met at Southwell last month and now has something to prove. Therefore, it may be prudent to gain some indications from the betting ring before taking the plunge with him. Pauvic and Radiator Rooney are others that have been kept busy but still have to be given plenty of respect. Both are well drawn today and there should not be much between them if they again run to form. However, Mister Incredible is a touch less exposed and rates as good value option on this occasion. The fitting of cheekpieces seems to have really worked the oracle with this son of Wizard King and he looks the value option in a race that is likely to go right down to the wire.
