Master Henry is taken to make all against Mumaris and Bearaway, with Why The Long Face worth a mention as well. Master Henry looked on good terms with himself when galloping his rivals into the ground at Newton Abbot last month, and despite a small rise in the weights, can do so again. Those front-running tactics always serve the ten-year-old well and similar tactics can pay off again against Bearaway and Why The Long Face who both have to give him weight. The latter won over further at Hexham and might not adapt to the shorter trip, while Bearaway beat a rival that has not won for five years at Hereford. Mumaris has been threatening to open his account this term but remains beatable. Gabla was still in contention when falling two out at Perth but needs to brush up his jumping, and so Master Henry looks the safest conveyance here.
