There looks likely to be plenty of pace on here as both Running Man and Percy Parkeeper like to force the pace. The latter bounced back to form last time at Stratford, when proving too strong for Saragann. He is sure to make a bold bid off this 7lb higher mark.However, preference is for Paul Webber's Running Man, who had looked a useful chaser in the making until he suffered an injury. Off the course for two years, he made a successful return to action when beating a moderate field at Huntingdon, which confirmed his wellbeing. Rated 127 at his best over hurdles, he could prove to be well treated over fences. Test Of Loyalty comes here in top form, but has taken quite a rise in the weights and shouldn't be good enough.
