Richard Johnson’s presence on HURRICANE HERO takes the eye and the latter drops in class after placing at Warwick in March. Olly Murphy’s charge may prove good enough off his current mark. Musical Stardust is only 4lb higher than when successful at Fontwell while Twpsyn has won on the Flat since last seen over hurdles. Cybalko can race off an 11lb lower mark back over the smaller obstacles while It Can Be Done and Major Snugfit are both unexposed over timber.
