Verdict

It's difficult to have much faith in The Hollinwell over fences nowadays while General Hardi and Restoration return from a break. Et Maintenant may be better over shorter but recent 2m course winner Rossini's Dancer stays this trip well enough and Jaunty Journey isn't short of stamina, as he proved when just beaten over 3m3f over hurdles here last month. He appears to have the beating of Brunswick Gold on Wetherby running in February. MUMBLES HEAD has made the long trip up from Pembrokeshire and, though raised 12lb for an easy success at Market Rasen, is still nicely treated on his best form. He can win again as Harry Flashman invariably finds at least one too good.
