SCHWARTZ was having only his second start in a handicap when placing over track and trip last month. He should be sharper for the outing and can confirm running with the veteran Uncle Bernie. Induro De Fontaine and Northern have been thereabouts over 1m4f lately while Ban Shoof placed at Chelmsford when last racing over today’s trip. Hiconic showed progressive form over hurdles back in 2020 and may prove well handicapped on her return to the Flat.
