Verdict
It's difficult to get away from WHO OWNS ME in this. He has a 7lb penalty for last week's easy win at Folkestone but is likely to be raised much more by the handicapper and can strike again while the iron's hot. Nez Rouge can race off an 8lb lower mark back over hurdles and Jive Master is dropped a further 3lb after a modest seasonal reappearance at Fontwell. The Good Guy has been running well without looking like winning and Lieutenant Miller makes more appeal dropped in class for his return to hurdling.
