Dual bumper winner NICELY INDEED was having his first start since 2015 when running well for a long way at Kempton on only his second start over timber. Kim Bailey’s charge should be sharper today and is preferred to Bettatogether. The latter ran well at Huntingdon before fading in the closing stages while Benefit Of Luck should find this easier than his latest task at Ascot. Burrenbridge Hotel didn’t get very far before falling at Bangor last time and Derrydoon was still tailed off when third at Catterick in February.
