The vast majority of these look pretty exposed with the exception of THE BIG LAD. Richard Hughes' charge made a winning start at Lingfield earlier in the month and there should be plenty more to come from him. Chelmsford winner Humour went close again on his latest start back at the same track while Noverre To Go pops-up at this level when in the mood and ran well at Nottingham recently. For Ayman has been thereabouts in plating races lately and Maymyo also has a shout off his current mark.
