LONGEST TRAVELLER: BERT WILSON trained by N Hawke, Tiverton, 151 miles.

BERT WILSON was well served by the application of blinkers when breaking his duck at Plumpton (20.5f) 4 weeks ago and he could be worth siding with to follow up Roger Rarebit has looked a shade tricky but clearly has the ability to play a lead role and is feared. Handicap-debutante Bashful Kate and Walkinthewoods are others worth a second look

LONGEST TRAVELLER: TALKTOMENOW trained by Mrs S Gardner, Longdown, 170 miles.

FLOWING CADENZA is thriving under the expert tutelage of Venetia Williams and an 8lb rise for her impressive Hereford success doesn’t look enough to prevent her from following up Bolintlea is next on the list on the back of her easy Fakenham victory, although in-form duo Advantura and Melk Abbey can have a say too.
