Nordic Combined is starting to look very well treated and Sayar certainly wasn’t winning out of turn at Wetherby. Rossbeigh Strand remains unexposed whereas ELHAM VALLEY has been a bit disappointing this term but the latter is thrown in on last year’s form with Peter Kavanagh’s claim a further plus. Mucho Mas was very highly tried on his handicap debut but Dalamoi will need to improve on his third at Sandown. Hyland looks a threat to all having got off the mark here last month but this may be too competitive for fellow recent winner Ashoka.
