Verdict

Rebecca Menzies has Halcyon Days and the seven-year-old bids for a third win in four starts, though has a penalty for Wednesday’s success at Hexham. FREDDIES PORTRAIT has an absence to overcome but was marking time over hurdles last season as chasing will be his game. He’s already won between the flags and has been placed twice on this track over timber. Ryalex has also won a point-to-point so may be the pick of the remainder as Storm Alert has become disappointing.
