Gary Hanmer runs Bangor winner Cruising Bye and winning pointer High Counsel in this. But the latter is 0-9 under Rules and the former will do well to confirm running with The Last Bridge and is also closely matched with SHAIYZAR on collateral form. Having only found one too good in his last two starts, David Thompson’s charge deserves a change of luck and holds Larkhall on the form book. Edward Elgar is getting closer and Sgt Bull Berry pops up when least expected but King's Song needs to take a step forward.
