A few I thought could improve for the move to Chasing and one on my long term Tracker is Et Apres Thou for the Hobbs yard. I just want to see proof of stamina over 3 miles for that one though before diving in.

 

FLORELLA runs prominently and has run well to this point more than once in longer races. Some Course experience will help, James Best is a cracking pilot in this kind of race and it would not surprise me at all if this one got in to a nice rhythm and had more than a few tested in terms of jumping especially down the back second time.

Not too far from Peaky Blinder land and it would be fitting for "our Polly" if THOMAS SHELBY could return to form in this race.

 

Seems to have gone off the boil for Caroline Bailey but back now to just 1lb above last winning mark and trip and underfoot conditions ideal and this is easily the most suitable opportunity since that last win and a better run is very much expected.

At nice Odds its more than likely that MASTER TRADESMAN can give us a good run for our money and a sporting each way chance. Should be fully tuned up now after 3 runs and some of these have been on the go all winter so relative freshness is an asset. Best for is on Good ground, this is a very appealing handicap mark, so a sporting each way punt.
