Verdict
Once Seen has the right credentials to win this event, Sonnyanjoe and Eau Pure appear to be the likely dangers. Oliver Sherwood's gelding has gone close in his three races this season. The most recent coming at Fontwell earlier this month when a five length third behind Just Katie. That was a stronger event than this and he should get well deserved victory here. Irish raider Sonnyanjoe has been well beaten in better company recently but has strong claims on his run at Uttoxeter in November when an excellent second to Fullards, on that performance he should go close. Eau Pure is from a top yard and although he hasn't shown too much this season he must have chances on his best efforts of last season. Ireland's Eye should come out best of the remainder, but Once Seen should have too much class for these rivals and gets a confident vote.
