Splash The Cash was a little keen in a mares’ race here last month but not entirely disgraced. Dr Time was prominent for a long way at Ffos Las on debut and Mr Scrumpy drew well clear at Hexham last month. Huntsmans Jog was due to run yesterday at Sandown but Weakfield won a point-to-point just over a year ago and has since joined Brian Ellison. I K BRUNEL, a son of Midnight Legend who is a half-brother to a winning chaser, can make a winning start ahead of fellow newcomer Tarada, another with a strong NH pedigree.
