REEMANNIE took a step forward at Windsor and this further step in distance should see the daughter of Dubawi in an even better light. War Defender has been knocking on the door over a mile but will have to show he handles this softer ground. Throne Hall hasn’t run since a debut third more than a year ago at Haydock but Let Me Be is interesting as he won a couple of bumpers on soft going at the end of last year and looks to have a bright future jumping. Golden Sandbanks was never travelling in a Haydock handicap last time but this is probably less competitive.
