TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner over hurdles and improved for the switch to fences when scoring at Bangor and Sedgefield last summer Disappointing when last seen in October, though, and likely to find one or two of these too strong. TFRHHHII BHA118

B G. Foley TIMEFORM VIEW Looked better than ever in a first-time hood (retained) when easily landing a 6-runner Southwell handicap (15.8f, good) recently Hit with an 8lb rise for that but he has to be taken seriously all the same

PLAY SMARTER

LERMOOS LEGEND again left the impression that his turn is near when chasing home the in-form Blueberry Wine at Aintree and he is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. It’s likely that the selection will have most to fear from Captain Ivan, who is greatly respected despite going up 8lb for his recent Southwell success Sao isn’t the most reliable nowadays but he’s certainly capable of a bold show off this sort of mark.

PLAY SMARTER

BALLYKEEL has a career-high mark to overcome but still looks the way to go on the back of his idling C&D success Course-winner Presentandcounting rates much the biggest threat, with Saint Arvans appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
