Ben Brody won at Warwick in December but progress stalled at Bangor, though this won’t take much winning. Bang On was tailed off when pulled up at Uttoxeter on Sunday while PURE COUNTRY hasn’t raced for more than a year and is making his chasing bow. Noel Williams’ gelding comes with obvious risks attached but may have the most scope of these along with Brooksway Fair, who has won between the flags.
