BITSANDPIECES scored over hurdles at Cork last month then found 2m too short over fences at Cork where he was going on at the finish. This isn't the strongest of handicaps and he can get back on the winning trail. Winning hurdler Uaintseenothingyet hasn't run since April though further rain would enhance his claims but Allee Bleue, four times a winner over hurdles, didn't do anything like as well over fences for Philip Hobbs and has transferred to Gordon Elliott. Angus Milan was last of three at Doncaster and not very consistent but Danse Away completed a double over hurdles on heavy ground in March and didn't run badly on his chasing bow at Cork.
