More quantity than quality in this but Espalion won over course and distance earlier in the month and Adherence was successful over a similar trip at Taunton. Realta Dawn is having a first run for Christian Williams but showed ability in Ireland last summer and should should be capable of winning a race like this for new connections. FLORESCO fell over fences at Taunton earlier this month but is thrown in on past form over hurdles and can end a long losing run. High Noon and Iron Horse may be best of the rest.
