Andaleep got the better of Alfred Boucher when winning at Sandown and bids for a hat-trick. Global Hero wasn’t beaten far when fourth over a mile at Yarmouth on his handicap debut and steps up in trip along with Glen Force but Humbert has switched yards having failed to score on Turf in 12 attempts. Music Seeker seems best on soft ground nowadays but MAKE IT RAIN showed further progress with a ready win at Wolverhampton last time and can defy a 6lb rise with the Crisfords’ yard in red-hot form.
