Rebecca Menzies has been patient with RESTANDBETHANKFUL and she joins forces once again with Brian Hughes as the partnership attempt to follow up last month’s success. The Cathal Don was fancied on a first start for Simon Pearce though ultimately unseated the rider when still in with every chance. Finalshot ran well on reappearance last month and proved that he simply didn’t stay when stepped up in trip at Doncaster. Croagh Patrick has regularly managed to make the frame in similar races and has claims of doing so here.
