Verdict
Leeroar won a four-runner race over 3m at Leicester last time but this is a bit more competitive. Get Ready To Go went close over 3m5f at Warwick last month, when Volio Vincente was a distant fourth, but Ata Boy hasn't really threatened so far though did finish ahead of Bit Of A Clown over 2m4f here last time. WAH WAH TAYSEE was still travelling well when falling at Taunton earlier this month. His stamina will have to be taken on trust over this much longer trip but he has ability and is much preferred to the one-paced Flugzeug.
