For Jim may be having a confidence-booster having fallen over fences at Hexham last time when in front and going well. Sammylou went close at Fontwell last month but Paddy Brennan rides stablemate LANDEN CALLING (NAP) so it’s safe to assume that the six-year-old, who has been going well here recently, is the stable pick. Breaking Waves would have a chance on the pick of last season’s form but Via Dolorosa is having a first run in this country over hurdles and Presenting Yeats was declared for the 5.05 Worcester yesterday.
