This looks a straight match between the penalised LANTIERN and bumper winner Floating Rock. The latter is one of several Tom Lacey runners on today’s card but these are testing conditions in which to go jumping for the first time and Harry Whittington’s charge left previous form behind when tackling soft going at Southwell 11 days ago. Miah Grace placed in bumpers here and at Wetherby last season but Get Help has hurdling experience having finished second at Kelso back in April.
