Verdict
MISUNDERSTOOD is going to win a race of this nature sooner rather than later judged on recent second-placed efforts and this could be his day. One of those efforts was a head second over C&D on soft ground and, on that form, he's a big player. Mr King might be one for the each-way players but the main danger is the in-form Supreme Clarets.
