A small field where Shouldntbethere offers little appeal on his first chasing start and SEAN OG who is a maiden from thirty-eight starts is taken to land the win on his first start for Tim Vaughan. He has performed creditably in his last three chasing performances for Jonathan De Giles and with a potentially better run today receives the vote. Space Cowboy is out of form but should handle the ground and may be the main danger whilst Temple Place has spent the last two years tumbling down the ratings and with a heavy loss at Uttoxeter earlier in the month may not be able to stop that poor run.
