LONGEST TRAVELLER: EL JEFE trained by Andrew Hamilton, Carluke, 256 miles.
Low-mileage 6-y-o KENZOKO shaped up well in a race that looks solid form for the grade (third has scored since) when runner-up on handicap debut over C&D 24 days ago and, open to further progress, Olly Murphy’s charge rates a solid proposition. Fellow in-form pair El Jefe and Lexie’s Moon should ensure he doesn’t have things all his own way.

WEIGHTWATCHER: CLONAKILTY won off a handicap mark of 115, his rating is now down 6lb to 109. LONGEST TRAVELLER: KARUMA GREY trained by D Hamer, Carmarthen, 156 miles.
A few of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for in-form MASTER BREFFINI to open his account for the season off a lenient mark. Kamaxos has been in very good nick over hurdles for his new yard and could emerge as the chief danger back chasing, while My Noble Lord can’t be ruled out either if back on track.

IN THE AGE pulled a county mile clear of the rest with the runner-up when landing a Catterick novice under Harry Atkins at the beginning of the month, and he is taken to add to that now handicapping off what looks a plausible opening mark. Fellow handicap debutants Orderoftheday and Warriors Destiny rate the main dangers.
