Hang Tough has run in a couple of points and this wouldn’t be the toughest start to racing under Rules. Bbold would have strong claims on his third to Smarty Wild at Ludlow in February but was a disappointing favourite next time at Huntingdon. I’m A Starman showed improvement in a Chepstow maiden last month but FIFTH SYMPHONY ran quite well at Wetherby on his hurdles bow before stepping out of his comfort zone at Ascot and gets the vote.
