It’s hard to get away from LEN BRENNAN, who returned to winning ways on his debut for Milton Harris last week at Plumpton and can race off the same mark again here. Hard To Forget and Sam Barton may give him most to think about.

RACE SUMMARY

BEBRAVEFORGLORY looked well suited by the switch to front-running tactics when off the mark for his new yard over hurdles at Hereford last month and he may well be up to building on that back over fences. Massini Man rates next best on recent exploits, ahead of Ardmayle. Diva’s Mix is also worth a check in the betting now chasing for her shrewd yard.

RACE SUMMARY

Most of these have question marks against them, so prolific points scorer SALVATORE looks the way to go here in his bid to follow up his recent Bangor hunter success. Dieu Vivant chased home the selection at Bangor and again rates next best with Activial also having the form to play a part in a refitted tongue strap.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): D Skelton (48 wins from 218 runners, 22%) runs JEFFERY’S CROSS TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): N Twiston-Davies (7 wins from 24 runners, 29%) runs BLACKCAUSEWAY LONGEST TRAVELLER: KITAWAY trained by E Williams, Llancarfan, 180 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

KYNTARA has shown a fairly useful level of form despite failing to get his head in front in this sphere and this looks a very good opportunity for him to add to his debut bumper success.

Benign Dictator made a promising start when runner-up at Uttoxeter and rates a big threat with this longer trip also a plus. Jeffery’s Cross appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
