Bard Of Brittany was second in a better race at Taunton last month when put back over hurdles. he’s been raised 4lb but must have a good chance of going one better in this modest heat. However, we just prefer ON THE TEAR with Charlie Price’s claim a plus. He’s been showing signs of life lately but needs to settle better to get home on this surface. Dharma Rain also tends to race keenly but she did finish second over 2m4f here last time so is not short of stamina. Annajemima was also runner-up when last seen but beaten 40 lengths around Fakenham.
