High Treason looks the pick in a wide open event, General Flumpa and Looks The Business may provide most danger. Willie Musson's charge was successful on his seasonal debut, comfortably beating Dinner Date at Yarmouth. Since then he has lost no caste in defeat in two decent handicaps at Kempton and Windsor. The slight drop in trip today should suit and he looks the one to be on. Looks The Business was a model of consistency last season, ending with a close up fifth behind Fuel Cell. He also displayed excellent form in two races over the jumps and if fit he should be involved in the finish. General Flumpa was unlucky in running at Kempton last time out but still managed to finish fourth behind Wild Pitch. If everything drops right this afternoon he could run into a place. Kylkenny is another to consider for each-way purposes, but our idea of the winner is High Treason.
