Red Whisper's second at Towcester last month was his best effort so far while Bay Central would have a chance if translating his form over fences to the smaller obstacles. Willard stepped up on previous efforts when second at Warwick while Tackswop ran a lot better than her SP suggested she would at Uttoxeter earlier this month but Denis O'Regan's mount MR BACHSTER must be worth another chance in such a weak race, though a switch to fences in the near future is probably on the cards. Capricornus attracted massive support at Market Rasen on Friday bur ran poorly.
