Marettimo finally won a race at Taunton at the 24th attempt and Thomas Doggrell takes off 7lb again. Out The Glen had Leskinfere well behind when successful over a bit further here two runs ago but didn’t reproduce that form at Fontwell. Fazayte unseated his rider on his chasing bow at Bangor but gets cheekpieces to aid concentration and No Hubs No Hoobs might make a better chaser than hurdler. Laura Morgan sent out the winner of this two years ago and RADETZKY MARCH (NAP) was always travelling best when scoring easily at Fakenham. This is no better and he can shrug off a penalty.
