Plenty of these turn up in decent heart in what should prove a competitive affair. Blackmill had tumbled down the weights before scoring quite cosily when returned to hurdling and should go well again with Twiston-Davies booked once more. The likes of Seaston Spirit, Telson Barley and Boethius should all run their race and are preferred in that order while market support for the lightly-weighted Taaffes Castle would be noteworthy for a yard which finished the last campaign very strongly. However, URTHEONETHATIWANT has been in cracking form this year, remains feasibly treated and should have more to come at the age of six.
