Guy was an impressive winner on his chasing debut in a novices’ handicap at Huntingdon but the handicapper took a dim view and raised him 12lb. Hes No Trouble and Dandolo Du Gite could both figure but She'sasupermack is likely to take up an alternative engagement at Ayr. Thomas Todd never seems to run a bad race and Minella For Me was back to his best when second at Warwick while Bollin Ace ran well last term without winning but WELL SMITTEN (NAP), who goes well fresh, was a winner here in March when last seen and makes greater appeal.
