It’s difficult to make a strong case for any of these. Hannington arrives out of form both on the Flat and over hurdles while Yankee Mail was well beaten in a claimer in France in March. Jersey Roy never figured dropped into a plating race at Lingfield last time and steps up from 7f so a speculative vote goes to MASQUERADED. The latter has two ways of running but is due one of his better ones and a repeat of his second at Lingfield in February would suffice in this company.
