Squire Trelawney's form in the first half of the season was decent and he might just have needed his latest fifth here over a shorter distance. He might be the one to cash in if WINGED CRUSADER doesn't get home. This is the easy Huntingdon winner's first try over this sort of trip but there is enough stamina in his pedigree to suggest it will suit and he's on an upward curve. Dancing Daffodil hasn't raced since disappointing at Ludlow in November but has won three times over 3m and further while Go Amwell stays well though hasn't won anywhere but Huntingdon since 2008.
