Tarahumara has undergone a breathing operation having returned a beaten favourite at Uttoxeter on his chasing debut. Billingsley won over a longer trip at Chepstow having found FEEL THE PINCH too good earlier. The latter looked like going close again when unseating at the last at Bangor recently and a bold bid is expected from him. Madiba Passion finished runner-up in the same race at Bangor and can figure while Fortunate Fred makes his chasing and handicap debut having placed over timber.
