The day’s feature looks wide open but Gentleman At Arms is starting to look well treated and ASK A HONEY BEE is on a fair mark on his reappearance. The latter goes well fresh so an absence is not a concern and Fern O’Brien takes off a handy 7lb. Despite a couple of below-par runs recently, Midnightreflection is not out of this and the mare Martha Brae is in good form. Bothwell Bridge hasn’t been disgraced back over hurdles this year and is preferred to stablemate Captain Morgs while Jubilee Express looks a threat to all with the form of his latest second at Market Rasen being franked by the winner.
