Gentleman Jacques finished fourth here in February but failed to improve on that the following month at Newbury. Minella Rescue made a winning start for new connections when well backed at Stratford but is penalised and more exposed than most. Diamond Dealer still has plenty to prove but YOULNEVERWALKALONE will have come on a bundle for his run at Huntingdon in May. Well supported that day, he ran green when asked for an effort and wasn’t given a hard time once his chance had gone. Out Out, out of a Flat and hurdles winner and attached to a powerful yard, must be monitored for any market interest.
