Aeglos won twice in Ireland and, despite a lengthy absence, could go well on his first run for Jonjo O’Neill. For Pleasure has also been off the track for a while but Little Stevie finished second at Bangor earlier this month and Hereia gets a weight-for-age allowance. SHANROE TIC TEC (NAP) didn’t really take to fences here last time but had run well at the track over hurdles on his return from a break considering he shed a plate. Only a pound higher than when completing a hat-trick at Market Rasen around this time last year, he can resume winning ways.
