Verdict

A GREAT EXCUSE was an early faller at Huntingdon last time but had looked on the up when going in at Lingfield prior to that and is well worth another chance to bounce back here off a still handy-looking mark. Athatir Mor could emerge as the main danger with the form of his latest Wetherby second having been well advertised, although last year' s victor Onesoc and top-weight Imperial Bede also need considering.
