Jack Tudor J Christian Williams, Bridgend T B Mrs C. J. Banks NAF S TIMEFORM VIEW Ended a long losing over hurdles here last summer. 0-11 over fences but he may have needed a recent comeback run at Plumpton. Has headgear combined for first time. Might be worth one final chance. TFRHHHHH BHA107

PLAY SMARTER

This is the first time that AYE AYE CHARLIE has contested a Class 5 handicap so he might be worth one final opportunity to come good over fences, particularly as the new headgear combination could give him a bit extra. Wetanwindy has been in good form over hurdles and will be a major threat if taking to fences, while Millbank Flyer still retains some potential as a chaser.
