Brody Bleu, who won at Worcester around this time last year, has scored between the flags since finishing third at Ascot. BEGGAR’S VELVET has a good strike-rate and beat a decent sort at Mollington earlier this month. Amy Cox’ charge gets the nod as course and distance winner Qrackers is not getting any younger and Tugboat remains out of sorts. Now Ben was pulled up here on his first run over fences under Rules so has something to prove now.
