THE NAVIGATOR won off a mark of 76 over 1m6f on the Flat at Catterick last month so is a potential handicap snip in this racing off 88. The grey has yet to place in four runs over hurdles but makes his handicap debut at a very modest level. Radjash was travelling strongly when falling at Perth having finished second at Stratford the time before and rates a danger. Sea Art remains unexposed and Musical Stardust won off a similar mark last year and should be cherry-ripe now after a couple of outings.
