Only the top two are in the handicap proper, though Charlie Todd’s claim means that Altumanina is just a pound wrong in the weights. She would have a chance on her penultimate run at Bangor. Placed in points, a bumper and a hurdle, HERE WE HAVE IT is surely better than he showed on his fencing bow at Huntingdon. He wears a visor here and can get the better of Sedgefield winner Blueberry Wine, who failed to cope with a 5lb rise at Plumpton, and Ayr runner-up Wheelbahri.
