Barton Rose is a bit hit-and-miss and has had a break but could figure if on a going day. HEDGEINATOR showed a willing attitude to score on his first start for Christian Williams at Newton Abbot but Honkytonktennessee was close up when falling in that race and will be a danger with a clear round. Gold Ingot is better than he showed at Market Rasen last month but River Of Intrigue has become hard to place. Floral Fantasy was a fair hurdler in Ireland but she’s been disappointing so far over fences. However, a change of scenery might see her in a better light.
