Friend Or Foe should have won a female jockeys’ race at Huntingdon last month and will benefit from Harry Cobden’s stronger handling but has been raised 4lb. Bullionaire was pulled up when last seen at Kempton in March but that was a rare poor performance last season and he’ll be ready for this. Global Society is another capable of going close after a similar break but BEAN IN TROUBLE could be the one to be on reverting to hurdles after failing to take to fences as he was impressive over the smaller obstacles at Ludlow in February. Hollywood Ken was runner-up to the prolific Breffniboy at Exeter last month so also has claims.
