Keep Rolling is back on a winning mark and has had wind surgery since pulled up at Ludlow in December. Ladronne’s latest run was over hurdles and he was in good form over the larger obstacles at the end of last year. Roque It has form around here and Lord Sparky came right back to form at Fakenham on New Year’s Day while Presenting Jeremy is surely better than he showed at Uttoxeter. My Silver Lining won at Wincanton having only a second run over fences but course winner FORWARD PLAN also looks progressive and his yard is firing on all cylinders at present.
