It was soft going when Cesar Du Gouet placed at Bangor last time while Vue Cavaliere never threatened the winner when third at Uttoxeter though should be sharper today. Wisecracker still looks a shade high in the weights while Agentleman had been in good form until refusing to race at Southwell. Go As You Please has been thereabouts over longer trips of late while GETAWAYTONEWBAY faded badly over 2m4f last time but the latter had won nicely over 2m1f at Stratford before that and gets another chance in this.
