Sage Monkey gamely battled to take second over this C&D last time out ahead of Go On Henry, the pair having no chance behind an easy winner. Both are respected now. Daulys Anthem has been backed to win a race like this in the past but has not been able to deliver. A change of scenery could improve his lot and his place in the market should be noted on debut for the Skelton's. High Aspirations is potentially well-handicapped but must put some poor efforts behind him so the nod goes to ASOCKASTAR for Tim Vaughan. He remains a maiden but showed good promise on previous chase outing at Uttoxeter in March, when shaping as if this long trip would suit. He had a pipe-opener over hurdles last month and won't lack for help from the saddle with the champion jockey booked.
