Perfect Pirate became disappointing last season and also ran poorly on his reappearance. I’s a while since Capard King got his head in front and he’s probably worth opposing again but Indirocco has plenty of scope and will have learned plenty from his fourth at Market Rasen. Newberry New is a consistent sort and Dylanseoghan won twice in the spring. Lough Derg Farmer needs to improve on efforts to date over fences, however, so SANDY BEACH can make a winning return to action. A winner three times over fences, he’s well treated on past form.
