Andante bids to follow up a surprise victory at Newcastle in December but shoulders a 7lb penalty. Ned Tanner should improve on his third at Kelso and Sir Jimmy Allen also showed promise at Catterick in March but Mr Hailstone didn’t follow up a fair debut at Navan next time at Fairyhouse. LARGY TRAIN is a Flat-bred newcomer from a yard that can get one ready at home and jockey bookings suggest he is more forward than Last Symphony.
