Rustique was narrowly beaten in a lower grade at Yarmouth last time and should be in the mix again with an apprentice back on board. But HERE’S TWO (NAP) was placed in a Class 4 contest at Kempton last week and Ron Hodges’ filly can return to winning ways in this with a similar effort. The remainder are harder to fancy on recent form but last month’s Brighton winner Sheer Intensity had excuses when badly hampered at the start last time and should do better today.
