Annaharvey Lad showed some promise when fourth at Wetherby and can figure in this granted normal improvement. Wetherby scorer Get Up Mush seeks to give the Skelton yard back-to-back victories in this but it’s probably about time that JOE DADANCER, who has attracted market support in all three of his hurdles starts to date, was getting his head in front, even though there should be more to come from Picks Lad. Points winner Another Day Out also warrants a second look.
