Verdict

The top three look the ones to concentrate on in this opener with recent Worcester winner DANCE TEMPO preferred to Cabimas and Ahyaknowyerself. That easy success will have boosted the confidence of Kim Bailey's charge, who was a decent sort on the Flat and has form in better company over timber. Cabimas will strip fitter for his victory at Newton Abbot and is a danger but Ahaknowyerself may need more time and his best form so far has come in bumpers. Bombel is the best of Evan Williams' two newcomers according to jockey bookings but may need the experience.
