BILL BAXTER may have bumped into one on his first outing over hurdles at Ffos Las and with improvement expected, he can recoup the losses. Fourth in a Listed bumper at Newbury back in February, the five-year-old brings a solid level of form to this contest and he is preferred to the likes of Readysteadybeau and point-to-point recruit Rowdy Rustler. There wasn’t much to separate Okavango Delta (second) and Half Track (fourth) when they met at Kelso, and both are entitled to be on the premise here.
