Has work to do with Western Ryder having finished behind that one last time and is now worse off at the weights, but he wasn’t suited by the wat that race was run and is better than that. He’d previously run a cracker when 2nd at Cheltenham in November and at a big price is worth another.
Late Update: With Sussex Ranger now a non runner, only 5 go to post so a fear it may be a slowly run affair, but we’ll take the chance that Noel Fehily gives him a slightly more aggressive ride.
