Verdict
HECOULDBETHEONE was gaining a third win for James Owen at Plumpton three weeks ago and earns the vote off just a 1 lb higher mark here. Dan Skelton's new recurit Halondo could prove a big threat though if back on his A-game from a handy-looking mark, while Prince Imperial and Montecam also command plenty of respect.
