Bertie Blue finished third at Plumpton on his hurdling debut but HANDS OFF was travelling as well as anything when running out at Doncaster having shown promise in his first two runs over timber. If that was only a blip, Nicky Henderson’s charge should take all the beating here. Moonshine Spirit failed to progress in bumpers but should do better now switched to hurdles, though Ioupy Collonges looks a bigger danger as he is certain to appreciate this step up in trip having looked one-paced when runner-up over 2m at Exeter.
