This looks much too short for Volcano on his reappearance and Lermoos Legend has been on the go all summer. JET PLANE is one of several chasing newcomers likely to attract market support in this. He has his ground and fitness is rarely an issue for one from his yard. Great Ocean has won a point so could make a better chaser than hurdler and Limetree Boy is also worth a second look. Gloire D'athon beat a subsequent winner at Huntingdon so can’t be ignored and Galtee Mountain and Marettimo both ended the last campaign in fine form.
