Hada Men is jumping fences late in life but there was some promise in his third at Leicester. Broadway Symphony easily won a lesser contest at Uttoxeter four weeks ago but had struggled to get his head in front previously. LETBESO was also on a frustrating sequence of placed efforts before beating Silvergrove at Ffos Las but he might have more to offer now he's got off the mark and is taken to double his tally here. Winged Crusader was pulled up when favourite at Exeter last month but wouldn't be without a chance on previous form.
