Dual recent point-to-point winner Rockley Beach disappointed between the flags when pulled up last time and may be best watched today so preference is for Took My Eye, who gets the vote with Winapenny rated the pick of the remainder. The selection is less exposed than most of these at the age of seven, comes into his rules debut in fine form having won a point in good fashion last time and he is taken to make a winning start over regulation fences. Delgany Gale has been running well without winning in points just of late and may have to settle for minor honours again, while Silver Dollars is better than he showed at Cheltenham last time but is hard to back with confidence after that effort. Winapenny was good value for his win a point-to-point last time having disappointed in a hunter chase previously and he has to be respected but preference is for Took My Eye.
