This is the weaker of the two divisions and won't take much winning. June French was upsides the winner when falling at the last here last month but she's proved very difficult to place. TACHBURY is lightly raced under Rules for his age and the useful pointer easily holds Trakeur on his victory at Fontwell 12 days ago. Richard Johnson keeps the partnership intact and another success beckons. Lost In Newyork disappointed last time at Southwell but should be capable of a bold showing on his best form while Conas Taoi's future should be over fences given his point-to-point background.
