Betancourt has won twice since switching yards in August and scored over track and trip last month. Constituent’s earlier success over today’s trip at Southwell came in a seller while Awesome Gal is worth noting despite returning from a lengthy absence given she steps up in distance on her debut for Sir Mark Prescott. Winning hurdlers Templier and Helf may also do better upped in trip today but THRESHOLDOFADREAM (NAP) has plenty of scope over today’s distance having been beaten less than a length over 2m at Lingfield last time and Amanada Perrett’s filly gets the nod.
