AWAY AT DAWN reportedly bled from the nose after making all at Bangor but has obviously recovered and has a good chance of defying a penalty in this. Bumper winner Wbee was far from disgraced on his hurdling bow at Uttoxeter and Mustang Alpha finished third at Huntingdon in November, though hasn’t been seen since. Bushypark also has an absence to overcome but should be capable of better.
