Stuart Crawford is utilising Ben Bromley’s claim on the penalised Perth winner I Love My Baie leaving Daryl Jacob to partner his stablemate Park Annonciade. Plenty will be expected from Scandisk Park, placed in points and a half-brother to the brilliant Hurricane Fly and three others. Flying Fortune looks a progressive mare and Hexham fourth Parade Away has scope but Diamond Dealer ran off the course when favourite at Ludlow. Charles Byrnes’ LA PERLE EST BELLE is a half-sister to the Champion Bumper Relegate and she is well worth a market check making her racecourse debut.
