GOOD BYE has been sent off favourite the last twice. He wasn’t beaten far at Doncaster last month and a pound rise is offset by Philip Armson’s claim. Gary Moore also puts a 7lb claimer on Lingfield winner Hit The Rocks and he can’t be ignored while No No Tonic was an easy winner when well backed at Wincanton, though looks thoroughly exposed. Imperial Joe has only run five times under Rules, however, and has placed the last twice. Per Vino Veritas may also be improving.
