Mr Orange is a course specialist who won a division of this last year off an 11lb higher mark, though he’s not getting any younger. Mutanaaseq rarely runs a bad race and should be in the firing-line again but LADY NECTAR bounced back from a poor run at York, when behind Cottam Lane, to finish third at Redcar and could be the answer to a tricky finale ahead of the luckless General Sago and Wether Fell. Twist Of Hay would have a chance on last year’s form but True Mason was due to run at Ripon yesterday.
