HIDEAWAY VIC is the only one with racecourse experience having showed ability when second at Wincanton last month. The third has subsequently boosted the form by winning and Anthony Honeyball’s charge looks to have a good opportunity in this. Of the newcomers, In The Pipeline is out of a hurdles winner and Numero Neuf is related to three winners in France and both are preferred to Black Lightning.
