tracked winner, pushed along after last, kept on and no impression
MIXBOY looks to have a good opportunity if taking to the larger obstacles. He’s the best of these over hurdles with a win at Sedgefield though that’s not saying much in this company. R Theveryman was pulled-up in a seller, Porters Lane and The Society Man arrive in woeful form and Master Cynk has not raced since 2014. Battle Range is a prolific point-to-point winner with his latest success coming only last month and he may figure on his debut under Rules.
