Verdict

Tomorrow Mystery could be capable of having a major say here for an in-form Paul Nicholls team, having undergone a wind operation since finishing second on debut at Worcester earlier in the season. Airton meanwhile made a winner start over 2m recently, defying his starting price, and is respected upped in distance despite his penalty. AT ITS OWN EXPENSE shaped nicely on his own hurdles bow when third over C&D last month and, with likely improvement, can improve to open his account.
