River Tyne’s reward for another narrow defeat at Exeter last month is a 4lb rise in the ratings and the top weight won’t find it easy to get past stable companion MY BAD LUCY (NAP), who jumped well when making all at Doncaster two runs ago and wasn’t disgraced on a return visit to Town Moor when taking on better opposition. Delgany Monarch is proving frustrating to follow but the Fontwell and Southwell winner Who Is That looks a threat to all having only found one too good here last time.
