HERESMYNUMBER has taken well to fences and followed up a third behind a useful novice at Leicester with two good runs at Fakenham. Only giving best close home last time, he must have a good chance of picking up the winning thread again here. Red Danaher isn’t getting any younger and is 0-10 over the larger obstacles, though has been in decent form over hurdles. Nelly La Rue was racing from out of the handicap when third here last time and makes more appeal than the one-paced Bobonyx and Major Ridge.
