Moving In Style, a winner between the flags at Bartlemy in May, has joined Neil Mullholland and is one to keep an eye on while Manhattan Spring won a bumper on his debut so may not be too inconvenienced by a long absence. WESTERN RYDER, a dual bumper winner including in Listed class at Ascot and placed in a Grade 2 at Aintree in April, started long odds-on for his hurdling debut at Stratford but his saddle slipped at the third and he unseated Richard Johnson. Compensation awaits here though Bang On Frankie wasn't far behind him in that Ascot event and has the benefit of a recent run over hurdles where he only weakened from the last.
