In depth
Verdict
Irish-trained Shanroe has had both runs so far in the country and won at Hexham last month. Connective has a Flat pedigree but beat better-fancied rivals in a three-runner race at Carlisle while Stuart Crawford sends over the Fame And Glory newcomer High Renown. CARRY ON had the proverbial ton in hand when winning for Kevin Ryan at Huntingdon in October. He’s been switched to a NH yard over the winter and can continue heading in the right direction by doubling his tally.
