Verdict
Having separated subsequent winners when runner-up over C&D last month, DIDNTGOTWENTY could be poised to open his account. A 1lb drop in the ratings could prove to be lenient for the seven-year-old and he's taken to repel Divas Doyen. Although Sandy Forster's mare was underwhelming at Carlisle recently, a repeat of her penultimate second over track and trip would see her involved. Handicap/chase debutant Siege Of Acres is worth a second look in the betting.
Expert View Verdict
DIDNTGOTWENTY might be able to win this weak race. He's coming off an improved showing at the course last time, on his second start as a chaser, and the cheekpieces he wore for the first time then are retained. Divas Doyen looks a plausible danger, only just above her last win mark and dropping back down in grade. She lacks the potential of Siege Of Acres, though. That one was fourth in a pair of points and looks a likely improver now chasing, but he's has wind issues in the past and was reported to have bled once, so clearly isn't reliable.
