The consistent CHARLIE MASON looks the way to go on the back of a near-miss off this mark at Chelmsford last week. All ground-types seems to come alike to Tony Carroll's charge and he looks rock-solid. Sergeant Pep was third to Knebworth in this race 12 months ago, but has a good chance of turning the tables on these revised terms and he is second choice. Havana Rum and Woven both command respect, along with the William Haggas-trained pair, Maelstrom and Showering.
