Cronins Hill showed improved form at Market Rasen last month. Voyage De Retour is returning from a lengthy absence but has won a point-to-point. Now Is The Winter won a bumper last March but hasn’t been seen since and Silent Assistant may also need this while Come On Teddy hasn’t been getting home over shorter. MAJOR DUNDEE was staying on over this trip at Warwick when falling at the last. He would have been placed and can make amends here if that mishap hasn’t dented confidence. Kalooki should improve on his fourth at Warwick and can also get involved .
