Opening Batsman got off the mark at Wincanton last month and Harry Derham's claim negates his penalty but HINDON ROAD is still preferred. The latter's latest second came in a much better race at Kempton and this looks his opportunity to shed his maiden tag over timber. Hurricane Herbie has been quite highly tried since arriving from France and should make the frame but the others have little to recommend them.
