None of these inspire confidence but SHAIYZAR finally got his head in front over fences at Sedgefield last time and gets a token vote to confirm running with the runner-up Veauce De Sivola. The latter wasn’t beaten far but has only won once in 26 attempts over fences and Bangor winner Pinch Of Ginger is less exposed, though hasn’t raced since April last year. Mrs Vonn found one too good at Sedgefield in between her more usual poor efforts and Flying Jack was still beaten a long way when placed on his last couple of outings.
